"Gladiolus: (Red)" is a botanical illustration from the work "Flora Conspicua," a collection of notable flower illustrations published in 1825. The artist behind this work is William Clark, an English botanist and illustrator known for his detailed and vivid representations of flora. "Flora Conspicua" is celebrated for its artistic merit and scientific accuracy, contributing to the study and appreciation of botany in the 19th century.

The illustration of the red gladiolus is particularly noteworthy for its striking color and the precise depiction of the plant's morphology. Gladiolus, a genus of perennial cormous flowering plants in the iris family (Iridaceae), is known for its sword-shaped leaves and funnel-shaped flowers, which are vividly captured in Clark's work. The red gladiolus, with its vibrant hues and elegant stature, was a popular subject in botanical art due to its exotic appearance and the Victorian fascination with floriculture.

William Clark's "Gladiolus: (Red)" not only serves as a visual feast for those interested in botanical illustration but also provides valuable insight into the botanical knowledge and aesthetic preferences of the early 19th century. The work is an important part of the historical record, documenting the diversity of plant life being studied and cultivated during this period. As such, it remains a significant piece for both art historians and botanists alike, reflecting the intersection of art, science, and horticulture during the age of exploration and discovery.
