EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration, Drawing 58/2b, depicts the one-seed hawthorn, Crataegus monogyna, a beloved flowering plant in the Rosaceae family. Created in 1903 by the skilled hand of Arthur Harry Church (1865-1937), this Victorian-era drawing is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Crataegus monogyna, also known as the common hawthorn or oneseed hawthorn, is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces enclosed seeds. As a dicot, it belongs to the Eudicotyledons, a large group of flowering plants characterized by two seed leaves. The plant is a member of the Rosales order, Rosids, and Fabaceae family, and is commonly found in Europe and Asia. This illustration captures the intricate details of the hawthorn's delicate flowers, which bloom in corymbs and are typically white with pink edges. The long, slender petals are arranged in a rosette-like pattern, while the stamens and pistils are prominently displayed. The leaves, which are serrated and simple, are also depicted with great precision. Arthur Harry Church was a renowned botanical illustrator of his time, known for his meticulous attention to detail and exceptional artistic skill. His work, including this beautiful illustration of Crataegus monogyna, continues to be appreciated for its scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich botanical knowledge of the late 19th century and serves as a testament to the importance of documenting the natural world for future generations.
