Original 1843 hand colored lithograph of the African Iris (aka the Fortnight Lily or Yellow Wild Iris). This print appeared in the "Magazine of Botany", a British horticultural journal published monthly from 1834 to 1849 by Sir Joseph Paxton (1803-1865), a British gardener, architect and engineer. Based on an illustration by S. Holden, a frequent contributor to the Magazine.
