EDITORS COMMENTS
This handfinished chromolithograph by Henry Noel Humphreys, based on an illustration by Jane Loudon from her book "Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials," published in London in 1849, showcases a stunning array of Iris species. The Iris family, known for their beautiful and distinctive flowers, is represented here by several notable varieties. In the foreground, the Chalcedonian Iris (Iris susiana) displays its vibrant purple and gold petals, while the Florentine Iris (Iris florentina) and Three-toothed Iris (Iris tridentata) showcase their elegant white and blue blooms, respectively. The Nepal Iris (Iris nepalensis) and Spring Iris (Iris verna) add a splash of color with their bright yellow and purple hues, respectively. The middle ground features the Three-toothed Iris (Iris tridentata) once again, this time with its intricately detailed rhizomes and foliage, as well as the Three-toothed Iris's close relative, the Three-toothed Iris of the Rocky Mountains (Iris tridentata subsp. martina). The background of the print showcases the beautiful and rare Chalcedonian Iris (Iris susiana), which was named after the ancient city of Chalcedon in Asia Minor due to its distinctive golden flecks on the purple petals. The print also includes the Iris of Nepal (Iris nepalensis), which is native to the Himalayas and is known for its tall, elegant stems and deep blue flowers. This exquisite chromolithograph is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the Iris family, and serves as a reminder of the natural wonders that can be found in the world around us. The intricate details of the illustration and the vibrant colors of the print make it a true work of art, and a must-have for any botanical enthusiast or collector.
