EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the vibrant beauty of the Saffron-coloured ixia, Ixia crocata, with its bright orange flowers that seem to glow against a backdrop of lush green foliage. Illustrated by Henrietta Moriarty in 1807 for her book "Fifty Plates of Greenhouse Plants," this handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the intricate details and delicate petals of this exquisite flower. Henrietta Moriarty was not only a talented artist but also a strong and determined woman who turned to writing novels and illustrating botanical books to support her four children after becoming a widow. Her work in botanical illustration is a testament to her passion for nature and dedication to providing for her family. The saffron-coloured ixia depicted in this print is truly a sight to behold, with its striking color and graceful form. It serves as a reminder of the beauty that can be found in even the smallest of flowers, and the importance of preserving our natural world. This piece is not just an illustration; it is a piece of history that tells the story of one woman's strength and creativity. It stands as a tribute to both the artistry of Henrietta Moriarty and the timeless allure of botanical wonders like the Saffron-coloured ixia.
