Meaning
「はもとより」is used to present a certain thing or event that the speaker considers as typical, essential (N1), then adding others of the same type (N2). This structure expresses the idea: N1 is obvious, it's clear already, but in addition, there is N2. This is a more formal way of saying「はもちろん」.
