Between 1872 and 1881, Dutch botanical artist Arentina Hendrica Arendsen (1836–1915) created watercolours of extraordinary luminosity — a quality of light that seems to come from within the flower itself. The front cover carries her Anemone stellata, the star anemone of the Mediterranean basin, rendered in soft luminous washes with meticulous botanical detail; the back cover presents two South African species: Anomatheca cruenta (now Freesia laxa) with blood-red translucent flowers, and Vieusseuxia pavonia (now Moraea villosa), the peacock moraea, with jewel-like markings — together carrying nearly 150 years of Dutch botanical artistry in a single full-wrap watercolour cover.
