EDITORS COMMENTS
Folio 9 from A Collection of Flowers, an exquisite botanical illustration by the renowned English botanical artist, John Edwards (1747-1822). This magnificent work of art is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Edwards, a pioneering figure in the field of botanical illustration, produced this masterpiece between 1768 and 1795. The illustration showcases a stunning array of flowers from the Angiospermae class, also known as flowering plants, which were only recently discovered during the 18th century. Edwards' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the petals, sepals, stamens, and pistils of each flower. The illustration is a testament to Edwards' mastery of the art of botanical illustration during the height of the 18th century's fascination with the natural world. The botanical names of the plants featured in Folio 9 are not indicated, adding to the intrigue and mystery of this beautiful work of art. The illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of botanical exploration and documentation in the history of science and the arts.
