EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Forked-petaled Flower de Luce, Iris dichotoma. The intricate detailing of the image, produced by A. Bailey after Edwin Dalton Smith, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of botanical illustration during the mid-19th century. The Forked-petaled Flower de Luce, also known as Blue Flag Iris, is a captivating perennial herb native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Its distinctive, elegant flowers boast a unique forked structure, with each petal appearing as if it has been delicately split in two. The petals are typically a vibrant blue hue, with yellow throats and white veins, creating a stunning contrast that adds to the flower's allure. This botanical illustration was originally published in John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery in 1854. Lindley, a renowned botanist, and Sweet, a horticulturist, collaborated to create a comprehensive guide for gardeners and plant enthusiasts, featuring over 1,000 illustrations of various ornamental plants. The publication of this work marked a significant contribution to the advancement of botanical knowledge during the Victorian era. The Forked-petaled Flower de Luce was a popular addition to Victorian gardens, and this engraving would have been a cherished possession for those who sought to cultivate this beautiful plant in their own green spaces. The intricate detailing and vibrant colors of the engraving serve as a reminder of the appreciation for the natural world that characterized the Victorian era and continues to inspire us today.
