EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Iris, plate 69 from A Curious Herbal" takes us back to the year 1782. Created by Elizabeth Blackwell, a remarkable woman ahead of her time, this color engraving showcases the beauty and medicinal properties of the Iris flower. The image depicts an intricately detailed root system intertwined with delicate blue flowers in full bloom. The vibrant colors bring life to this garden favorite known as the blue flag or garden flower de luce. It is not only visually stunning but also holds significant curative powers. Blackwell's work was more than just art; it served as a valuable resource for herbal remedies during a time when medical knowledge was limited. This particular print highlights the healing qualities of Iris nostras hortensis - its seeds and roots were used to create various remedies. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece, we are reminded of nature's ability to provide both aesthetic pleasure and practical solutions for our well-being. The iris symbolizes hope and faith while offering relief through its medicinal properties. Acquired from a private collection by The Stapleton Collection, this rare gem now resides in Scotland, where it continues to inspire awe and admiration among art enthusiasts worldwide. Bridgeman Images has preserved its essence so that future generations can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and the historical significance it represents.
