Habenaria peramoena- Fringeless Purple Orchid 1931

Edwin Hale Lincoln's 1931 photograph, "Habenaria peramoena- Fringeless Purple Orchid," showcases the delicate beauty of a fringeless purple orchid. The black and white print, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, captures two orchid stalks, one on either side of the composition, rising from the bottom of the image. The detailed botanical study utilizes a close-up perspective to display the fine details of the orchid's structure. Lincoln's meticulous approach to capturing the orchid's delicate form is evident in the image.
