EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolour painting, Iris sp. iris (Watercolour No. 38 from the Round Small Collection), showcases the captivating beauty of an Iris flower in its full bloom. Painted by the skilled hand of Frank Harold Round in 1919, this botanical illustration is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The Iris, a member of the Iridaceae family and the order Asparagales, is a monocotyledonous flowering plant, belonging to the class Magnoliophyta and the subclass Angiospermae. This particular species of Iris boasts a stunning display of pink and purple hues, with yellow accents adding depth and contrast. The delicate petals and sepals unfurl to reveal the intricate structure of the flower's reproductive parts, a testament to the intricacy and complexity of the angiospermic world. Frank Harold Round, a prolific botanical artist, captured the essence of this flower in its prime during the early 20th century. His meticulous attention to detail and mastery of watercolour techniques bring the Iris to life, allowing us to appreciate its natural allure and elegance. The Round Small Collection, of which this painting is a part, is a significant contribution to the field of botanical illustration, providing a valuable record of plant species for scientific and artistic purposes. This watercolour painting is not only a beautiful work of art but also an essential piece of botanical history, showcasing the intricacies of the Iris and the skill of its painter, Frank Harold Round. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting the natural world and preserving the knowledge of the past for future generations.
