"Dracontium Maius" is an illustration by Basilius Besler, a respected German apothecary, botanist, and curator of the garden of the Bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria. Besler is best known for his monumental work "Hortus Eystettensis" (The Garden of Eichstätt), which is a codex of botanical illustrations depicting the collection of the garden at the bishop's residence. The "Dracontium Maius" illustration is one of the many detailed botanical plates from this work, which was first published in 1613.

The "Hortus Eystettensis" is celebrated for its life-sized engravings and is considered one of the earliest and most significant botanical works from the period. It showcases a wide variety of plants, including flowers, herbs, and vegetables, which were cultivated in the garden, arranged according to the four seasons. "Dracontium Maius" represents one of these plants, rendered with the high level of detail and accuracy that characterizes Besler's work.

The illustration of "Dracontium Maius" is significant not only for its botanical accuracy but also for its artistic merit. Besler's work bridges the gap between science and art, providing valuable information to botanists and horticulturists while also serving as a source of inspiration and enjoyment for art enthusiasts and collectors of botanical illustrations. The "Hortus Eystettensis," including the "Dracontium Maius" plate, remains an important historical document, reflecting the knowledge and appreciation of plant life during the early 17th century, as well as the high level of craftsmanship in printmaking of the time.
