EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite silkscreen botanical illustration showcases the captivating beauty of the Eyed Tulip, Tulipa agenensis (previously known as Tulipa praecox), a rare and intriguing species of tulip. Created by the skilled hand of Elsie Katherine Dykes, this illustration is a stunning addition to the comprehensive collection of tulip species documented in William R. Dykes' Notes on Tulip Species, published by Herbert Jenkins Ltd. in London in 1930. The Eyed Tulip, also known as the Persian or Turkish Tulip, is native to Central Asia and the Middle East. Its unique characteristic is the distinctive "eye" or "eyes" that appear on the base of each petal, adding an enchanting allure to its already beautiful bloom. The illustration masterfully captures the delicate intricacy of the tulip's petals, veined with a subtle, intricate pattern, and the vibrant, rich hues of its colors. Elsie Katherine Dykes was a renowned botanical illustrator, known for her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to bring the natural world to life through her art. Her illustrations were widely admired for their beauty, precision, and accuracy, making them invaluable resources for botanical research and conservation efforts. This particular illustration is a testament to Dykes' exceptional talent and her dedication to documenting the natural world. It serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the plant kingdom and the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique beauty of each species.
