Snowdrops in art
Harald-Alex.:
A special snowdrop-art is the "Black Snowdrop Ring", created after wishes of the owner (probably also a galantopfile!) from the goldsmith Neugebauer Torgau (see foto Neugebauer), who also will take part in our 1. springflowershow im march 2019 in Torgau!
Harald-Alex.:
one of the first pictures of snowdrops in Torgau - Saxony I found in the famous "Kreutterbuch" 1563 from Johann Kentmann. This coloured Aquarell-picture is one of more tha 600 plants, which this book contains. The aquarells are the reason, why there are not copies of this old herb-book, as othe books from Fuchs, Mathioli and others. In 1563 the snowdrops are called: "little white hornung (= february) flower. The big "white hornung flower" means Leucojum vernum, which is also part of the old book!
Gail:
