EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite drawing of Geranium phaeum, commonly known as the Mourning Widow Geranium, is a beautiful example of Victorian-era botanical illustration. Created by the skilled hand of Arthur Harry Church in 1909, this illustration is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The Geranium phaeum is a member of the Geraniaceae family, which is part of the larger order Geraniales, and the class Eudicot, specifically the Rosid clade. This flowering plant, also known as Cranesbill, is an angiosperm, meaning it produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. As a dicot, it belongs to the Magnoliophyta division, which includes all flowering plants with two seed leaves, or cotyledons. The Mourning Widow Geranium is characterized by its distinctive, velvety, deep purple flowers, which bloom in the late spring and summer. The name "Mourning Widow" refers to the dark color of the petals, which resembles the traditional mourning attire of the Victorian era. The drawing captures the intricate details of the flower's veined petals, the delicate filaments of the stamens, and the intricately patterned stigma. As an archivist, I am fortunate to have access to this precious illustration, which provides a glimpse into the rich history of botanical exploration and documentation. The intricacy and detail of this drawing are a testament to the dedication and skill of botanical illustrators like Arthur Harry Church, whose work continues to inspire and educate us about the natural world.
