EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical and humorous frontispiece, created by John Weir in 1930-48, is a delightful addition to the world of botany. Titled "The Bogus Book of Botany" this ink on paper artwork showcases Weir's unique blend of artistic talent and comedic wit. In this illustration, we are introduced to a vibrant floral scene that appears straight out of a comic book. The front page features an array of colorful flowers, each with its own amusing title and description. From the mischievous "Prankster Petunias" to the elegant yet elusive "Sneaky Snapdragons" these fictional botanical creations bring laughter and joy to anyone who lays eyes upon them. Weir's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen. The intricate text accompanying each flower adds another layer of amusement as it playfully describes their characteristics or quirks. It is clear that Weir had great fun crafting this piece, infusing it with his unmistakable sense of humor. This unpublished gem from John Weir's private collection captures the essence of his artistic genius. Its combination of floral beauty and lighthearted comedy makes it a truly remarkable work that brings smiles to all who appreciate art with a touch of playfulness.
