This is a hand-colored copperplate engraving entitled "Tulipa viridiscoloris, Fritillaria iuncifolns, Allium Vrsinum" depicting flowering tulip, fritillary and wild garlic plants from Basilius Besler's landmark work, Hortus Eystettensis (Garden at Eichstatt), first published in 1613 in Eichstatt, Germany near Nuremberg and later in 1640 and 1713.
This beautiful colorful engraving is printed on thick laid chain-linked paper. There is latin text on the verso. There is a pinpoint hole in the periphery on the right and another on the left, as well a small horizontal tear at the left edge where the print had previously been bound. The print is otherwise in excellent condition.
