This image depicts a single botanical engraving of an aloe plant from the third edition of "Hortus Eystettensis" by Basilius Besler, published in 1713. The engraving is hand-colored, showcasing the intricate and vibrant details of the aloe, including its thick, curling leaves and orange flowers.
The piece is framed in Italian burl wood, matching the frames of the Besler pepper engravings, and includes conservation clear glass for UV protection. It is also mounted with acid-free mats and backer board to ensure preservation. The overall size of this framed piece is similar to the pepper engravings, at 26.875 by 30.875 inches.
This hand-colored botanical engraving is a fine example of early 18th-century botanical illustration, highlighting the artistry and scientific precision of Basilius Besler's work. The detailed depiction of the aloe plant makes it a valuable and aesthetically pleasing addition to any collection or decor.
