About the Item
Botanical Illustration of Persian Iris: Iris persica from Iran
This lithograph depicts the Iris persica, commonly known as the Persian Iris. Native to Iran (Persia), this species of iris is well-known for its delicate and elegant flowers, which feature a combination of pale blue, white, and yellow hues with purple spots.
The illustration showcases the plant's slender, sword-like leaves, the characteristic flower structure, and a detailed view of the bulb, highlighting the plant's underground growth form.
The artwork is part of the celebrated 19th-century botanical series "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," authored by Louis van Houtte, a distinguished Belgian horticulturist. Van Houtte's series is renowned for its precise and aesthetically pleasing botanical illustrations, which were used for both scientific study and decorative purposes.
This lithograph is hand-colored, a traditional technique used to bring out the natural colors and fine details of plants.
The condition of the print is well-preserved, with clear and vivid depiction of the flower and foliage, although slight signs of age, such as light foxing or yellowing, are visible, typical for botanical prints of this era.
This piece exemplifies the 19th-century passion for botanical exploration and the desire to document the beauty and diversity of plant life from different parts of the world.

Van Houtte's Tigridia Botanical Illustration by Louis van Houtte, 19th Century
This illustration features *Tigridia van Houttei*, commonly known as Van Houtte's Tigridia, a plant recognized for its unique, eye-catching flowers.
Measuring approximately 24 x 16 cm (9.5 x 6.5 inches), this print is part of the esteemed botanical series "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," curated by Louis van Houtte, a renowned 19th-century Belgian horticulturist.
