EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of the Italian pimpernel, Anagallis monellis. With its small yet vivid blue flowers, this enchanting botanical illustration by Henrietta Moriarty transports us to a world of natural wonders. The artwork is taken from "Fifty Plates of Greenhouse Plants" (1807), which was a re-issue of Moriarty's own "Viridarium" (1806). These handcoloured copperplate engravings demonstrate her artistic talent and passion for botany. Moriarty's journey as an author and artist began after she became a widow, seeking ways to support her four children. Her dedication shines through in every stroke of this floral masterpiece. This 19th-century print not only serves as a visual guidebook but also pays homage to the rich history of botanical art.

As we gaze upon this exquisite print, we are reminded that art has the power to transcend time and connect us with both past and present. It serves as a testament to Moriarty's legacy as a female author, artist, and mother who defied societal expectations in pursuit of her passions. This fine art print invites us into an era when botanical illustrations were treasured for their scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. Let it inspire you to explore the hidden beauty within nature's vast tapestry.
