Awaiting original catalog description
From Glen Road Iris Garden catalog, 1927: GRACE STURTEVANT (Bliss, Murrell 1926) This Mr. Bliss considered his finest Dominion seedling when he did me the honor of naming it for me. It is exceedingly rich in color and texture; a dark red-brown and violet-carmine, the falls so velvety that they look black in certain lights. The deep orange beards and yellow hafts marked with brown add richness and give life to the whole effect. Stems well-branched and over three feet high; the large flowers of extra heavy substance and with fertile pollen. 40.00.
 
This image shows the two cultivars 'Grace Sturtevant' and 'Hester Prynne'. They are very similar but perhaps this image will help to tell them apart.
