EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the delicate beauty of the Ivy-leaved geranium, Geranium pettatum, with its pale lilac and pink flowers. Illustrated by Henrietta Moriarty in 1807 for her book "Fifty Plates of Greenhouse Plants," this handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the intricate details of this African shrub. Henrietta Moriarty was a remarkable woman - a colonel's widow who turned to writing novels and illustrating botanical books to support her four children. Her talent as an artist is evident in the meticulous rendering of each petal and leaf in this illustration. The soft colors and graceful curves of the Ivy-leaved geranium make it a timeless subject for botanical art. The combination of lilac and pink hues creates a sense of tranquility and elegance, drawing viewers into the world of nature captured on paper. As we admire this piece, we are reminded not only of the beauty found in our natural surroundings but also of the resilience and creativity that women like Henrietta Moriarty have shown throughout history. This print serves as both a visual delight and a tribute to female artists who have paved the way for future generations.
