EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pen and ink drawing of Iris florentina, or the German Blue Flag Iris, is a beautiful example of botanical illustration from the nineteenth century. Created by the skilled hand of Arthur Harry Church (1865-1937), this illustration is part of his extensive body of work documenting various plant species, particularly those belonging to the Iridaceae family. The Iris florentina, now known as Iris germanica 'Florentina', is a stunning perennial plant that produces vibrant blue flowers with distinctive white signals. This particular iris was a popular choice in Victorian gardens due to its elegant and captivating blooms. Church's illustration showcases the intricate details of the iris flower, from the delicate veining on its petals to the fine hairs on its stems. The drawing also provides a detailed view of the plant's leaves, which are long, narrow, and lanceolate in shape. As a monocotyledon, the Iris florentina is part of the monocot class of flowering plants, characterized by a single cotyledon in their seeds. This class also includes other well-known plants such as palms, orchids, and grasses. This illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill that was employed in documenting plant species during the Victorian era. Church's work, along with that of other botanical illustrators of his time, played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the natural world and contributing to the development of modern taxonomy.
