EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pen and ink wash drawing of Iris sanguinea, or the Blood Iris, is a beautiful example of botanical illustration from the Victorian era. Created by the skilled hand of Arthur Harry Church in 1865, this illustration is part of a larger body of work that showcases his exceptional talent in capturing the intricacies of the natural world. The Iris sanguinea, now known as Iris sanguinea in the botanical nomenclature, is a species of monocotyledonous flowering plant belonging to the Iridaceae family, and the subclass Magnoliophyta. It is a perennial herb that produces vibrant red or maroon flowers, hence the common name 'Blood Iris.' Church's illustration portrays the plant in full bloom, with its elegant, slender stems and broad, glossy leaves. The flowers are depicted in stunning detail, revealing their intricate structure and the rich, deep hues of their petals and sepals. The delicate veining and texture of the leaves are also captured with remarkable precision. This drawing is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill that characterized botanical illustration during the 19th century. It is a valuable record of the natural world, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom.
