EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is a captivating glimpse into the world of botanical discovery during the 18th century. The subject of this magnificent print is Violet Cron, a beautiful and intricately detailed depiction of a pink carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) from the publication "Flora Exotica" by Johann Gottfried Zinn and Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne, published in 1720. The illustration is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The pink carnation is a beloved flowering plant belonging to the family Caryophyllaceae, order Caryophyllales, class Magnoliopsida, and subclass Rosids. It is an angiosperm, a type of seed-producing plant, and a dicot, meaning it has two seed leaves. The common name "carnation" is derived from the Latin word "coronation," reflecting the flower's historical use as a decoration for garlands and crowns. The illustration showcases the delicate beauty of the carnation's pink petals, which surround its central, intricately patterned stamen and pistil. The attention to detail in the illustration is truly remarkable, with each petal, vein, and filament rendered with meticulous care. This level of detail was essential for botanical exploration during this period, as accurate record-keeping and documentation were crucial for the advancement of scientific knowledge. The publication of "Flora Exotica" was a significant contribution to the field of botany, showcasing a diverse array of exotic plants from around the world. This illustration of Violet Cron is a testament to the beauty and importance of these early botanical records, which continue to inspire and captivate us today.
