Description:
Originally published in 1613 by botanist-apothecary Basilius Besler, the monumental book known as the Hortus Eystettensis was, and is, the greatest botanical illustrated book ever created. With 367 plates depicting more than 1,000 species of plants, the book was spectacular even in black and white; the very few hand-colored copies are priceless. When Abrams issued its facsimile edition of Besler's great Florilegium in 1989, and followed that in 1994 with Hortus Eystettensis, featuring selected images, it became clear that there is great demand for a poster book of these irresistible botanicals.
