About the Item
This antique print, titled "Acetosa Hispanica Maxima," depicts the Acetosa plant, commonly known as Sorrel. It belongs to the Plantago or Rumex genus, known for their edible leaves with a sour taste due to oxalic acid. Historically, sorrel has been used both for culinary and medicinal purposes, including as an herb to treat inflammation and digestive issues.
The plant thrives in temperate regions across Europe, including the Iberian Peninsula, where this particular species, Acetosa Hispanica Maxima, was likely found. It is known for growing in moist, nutrient-rich soils.
The maker Abraham Munting (1626–1683) was a Dutch botanist who contributed significantly to plant taxonomy and botanical gardens. His posthumously published work gained popularity for its unique artistic style, blending scientific illustrations with creative depictions.

Flowering Peppermint Plants: A 17th C. Besler Hand-colored Botanical Engraving
Located in Alamo, CA
This is a hand-colored copper plate engraving entitled "Pulegium Cervinum, Pseudo Pulegium Struthium, Pulegium Regium", depicting flowering Peppermint, Weld and Pennyroyal plants respectively 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 thin laid chain-linked paper. There are subtle creases in the right upper corner, very common with Besler's relating to the drying of the paper during its production. The right margin is thinner than the others. The print is otherwise in excellent condition with striking hand-coloring.
Basilius Besler (1561–1629) was an apothecary and botanist. He was curator of the Willibaldsburg Castle garden of Johann Konrad von Gemmingen, prince bishop...
