EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Dwarf Violet Iris or Vernal American Flower (Iris verna), a native bloom of North America. Created by the skilled hands of A. Bailey, after the original work of Edwin Dalton Smith, this botanical illustration was published in John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery in 1854. The Dwarf Violet Iris is a small, delicate perennial herb that thrives in woodlands and meadows, producing slender rhizomes and narrow, linear leaves. The plant's most striking feature is its vibrant, violet-blue flowers, which bloom in early spring, giving way to the verdant foliage that follows. The intricate details of the petals, sepals, and stamen are masterfully captured in this engraving, revealing the intricacy and allure of the flower's structure. The hand-coloring process adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the illustration, bringing the Dwarf Violet Iris to life and highlighting its captivating hues. This botanical masterpiece not only serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of the time but also provides a glimpse into the natural beauty that inspired generations of gardeners and botanists. The Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery was a seminal work in the field of botanical illustration, featuring a diverse array of plants and flowers, meticulously documented through the medium of copperplate engraving. This particular illustration of the Dwarf Violet Iris stands out as a prime example of the exquisite detail and artistry that characterized this groundbreaking publication.
