EDITORS COMMENTS
presents a captivating watercolor painting of Nymphaea odorata var. minor, commonly known as the fragrant water lily, created by the skilled hand of Annie Josephine Wexford (Mrs. Hosea B. Morse) in 1901. The painting, held in the Library and Archives, showcases the beauty and intricacy of this aquatic plant in its prime. Nymphaea odorata, a member of the Nymphaeaceae family within the order Nymphaales, is a dicotyledonous, or dicot, flowering plant. This particular variety, var. minor, is characterized by its smaller size compared to other water lily species. The plant's large, fragrant, white flowers float gracefully on the water's surface, their petals unfurling to reveal an enchanting, delicate beauty. Annie Josephine Wexford, born in 1853, was an accomplished American botanical artist. Her work, including this stunning watercolor, is a testament to her dedication and talent in documenting the natural world. The painting provides a glimpse into the history of botanical illustration, a field dominated by women artists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Magnoliophyta, or flowering plants, to which Nymphaea odorata belongs, are a diverse group that includes monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. The monocotyledonous water lily, with its single cotyledon, is contrasted by the dicotyledonous nature of the artist's medium – paper. This exquisite work of art invites us to appreciate the intricate details of the fragrant water lily, as it gracefully floats on the water's surface. The painting is a reminder of the rich history of botanical illustration and the important role women artists played in documenting the natural world.
