EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the delicate beauty of the Snow-white cornflag, Gladiolus blandus (var. B). The white flowers are tinged with hints of pink and yellow, creating a soft and ethereal appearance. Illustrated by Henrietta Moriarty in "Fifty Plates of Greenhouse Plants" in 1807, this image showcases her talent for capturing the intricate details of botanical specimens. Moriarty, a colonel's widow who turned to writing novels and illustrating botanical books to support her four children, was a trailblazer in a male-dominated field. Her handcoloured copperplate engravings are not only visually striking but also serve as valuable educational tools for those interested in botany. The Snow-white cornflag is just one example of the many exquisite plants featured in Moriarty's work. Each flower is meticulously rendered with precision and care, highlighting its unique characteristics and charm. This illustration serves as a timeless reminder of the beauty found in nature and the importance of preserving it for future generations to enjoy. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate not only the artistry behind it but also the dedication and passion that went into creating such a masterpiece.
