EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Spanish Iris, Iris xiphium. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Sydenham Edwards and masterfully engraved by F. Sansom for the esteemed botanist and naturalist, William Curtis. The illustration was produced as part of Curtis's renowned "Lectures on Botany," delivered at the Botanic Garden in Lambeth, England in 1805. The Spanish Iris is a stunning perennial plant, native to the Mediterranean region, characterized by its vibrant blue-violet flowers with distinctive white signals, or standards, and falls that are edged in white and tipped with a golden-yellow beard. The intricate details of the iris's petals, veins, and stamen are brilliantly captured in this illustration, providing an accurate and detailed record of the plant's morphology. The artistry of this botanical print is truly remarkable, with the delicate shading and subtle coloring bringing the Spanish Iris to life. The intricate engraving technique, combined with the hand-coloring, creates a stunning visual representation of this beloved flower. The illustration also includes annotations and labels, providing valuable information about the plant's botanical classification and characteristics. This beautiful botanical print is a testament to the dedication and expertise of William Curtis, Sydenham Edwards, and F. Sansom, who worked tirelessly to document and preserve the natural world through their art. The Spanish Iris remains a cherished symbol of the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom, and this illustration continues to inspire and delight botanical enthusiasts and artists alike.
