EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century print showcases the exquisite beauty of Iris Germanica, more specifically the Var. Florentina, also known as the Flower-de-Luce, Fleur-de-Lys, or Orris. The image, captured by an unidentified artist around 1820, transports us back in time to an era of elegant gardens and botanical exploration. The Iris Germanica is a tall, rhizomatous perennial with slender, erect stems that bear large, vibrant flowers. In this print, the delicate petals of the Florentina variety unfurl in a captivating display of soft lilac hues, with a golden-yellow signal or beard at the center. The intricate veining on the petals and the delicate filaments of the stamen add to the flower's allure. The historical significance of the Iris Germanica is rooted in its symbolic meaning. The Fleur-de-Lys, or "lily flower," has been a symbol of royalty and purity for centuries, with its origins dating back to ancient Egypt and Greece. In medieval Europe, the Fleur-de-Lys became a popular emblem of the French monarchy, and it can still be seen today in the Fleur-de-Lys flag and coat of arms. The Orris root, derived from the rhizome of the Iris Germanica, has a rich history in perfumery. It has been used since ancient times to create fragrances, and its distinctive, sweet, and slightly powdery scent continues to be a popular ingredient in perfumes and cosmetics today. This beautiful print is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Iris Germanica and the fascination it has held for generations. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the knowledge it holds, as well as the beauty and history that can be found in the simplest of things – in this case, a single, enchanting flower.
