EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite unfinished drawing, titled "Monocotyledons 1, Orchidaceae 1, No 71" by Franz Andreas Bauer, showcases the intricate details of a squashed Limodorum altum orchid and its pollen, known as pollina. Dated back to the 18th century, this illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of Bauer, a renowned botanical artist of his time. The orchid, a member of the Angiospermae or flowering plants, is classified under the Magnoliophyta division and the subclass Asparagales. The Limodorum altum, also known as the tall limodorum, is a beautiful orchid species with distinctive, elongated flowers. Bauer's drawing captures the orchid's intricate structures in great detail, from the delicate petals and sepals to the complex arrangement of the pollen grains. The squashed pollen, or pollina, is depicted in close-up, revealing its unique, multicellular structure. The drawing is a fascinating glimpse into the world of orchids and their pollination mechanisms during the 18th century. The unfinished nature of the drawing adds to its charm and intrigue, leaving viewers to imagine how Bauer might have completed the work. Despite being incomplete, the drawing remains a valuable contribution to the historical record of botanical illustration and the study of orchids. This image is a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world and the role that artists like Bauer played in documenting it.
