EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Florentine iris, also known as Iris germanica var florentina. The image, captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Jussieus Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) in Florence, Italy. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this botanical illustration are truly mesmerizing. Renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin directed and drew this masterpiece, which was then engraved by Cellai and published by Batelli e Figli. Turpin's exceptional talent shines through in every stroke. Not only does this artwork showcase the sheer beauty of nature, but it also holds significant scientific value. The Florentine iris has long been studied for its various uses in food and medicine. Known for its edible orris root, this plant has played a role not only in culinary traditions but also in natural remedies throughout history. As we admire this stunning print, let us appreciate both the artistic skill that went into creating it and the rich botanical knowledge it represents. This image serves as a testament to the importance of preserving our natural heritage while celebrating human creativity at its finest.
