EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Bearded Iris, Iris germanica (syn. Iris florentina), as it was depicted in Dr. Willibald Artus's comprehensive botanical publication, Handbook of all medical-pharmaceutical plants (Hand-Atlas sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse), published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The intricate details of the iris's velvety petals, distinctively bearded falls, and elegant rhizome are masterfully captured in this engraving. At the time, the Bearded Iris was highly valued for its medicinal properties, particularly for its rhizome, which was used to treat various ailments such as gastrointestinal issues, inflammation, and even as a diuretic. The plant's striking appearance, with its vibrant colors and elegant form, also made it a popular ornamental addition to gardens. This botanical illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of the skilled engravers and botanical illustrators of the 19th century, who dedicated themselves to accurately documenting the natural world for scientific and artistic purposes.
