EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful handcolored lithograph depicts the double varieties of Chinese primroses, Primula chinensis, drawn and lithographed by the skilled hand of Worthington G. Smith for Henry Honywood Dombrain's Floral Magazine in 1872. Smith, an architect, engraver, and mycologist, was a prolific contributor to various botanical publications, including The Gardeners Chronicle. Dombrain, a clergyman gardener, served as the editor of the Floral Magazine from 1862 to 1873. The intricate details of the primroses' delicate petals and vibrant colors are expertly captured in this botanical illustration. The double varieties showcase the unique beauty of this Chinese primrose, with multiple layers of petals creating a full and lush bloom. The lithographic process allowed for the precise reproduction of Smith's original drawings, resulting in a stunning and accurate representation of the primroses. This historical print offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian-era botanical illustration and the dedication of its creators to documenting the natural world. The Primula chinensis, also known as the Chinese primrose, is a popular garden plant known for its early spring blooms and attractive flowers. This image serves as a testament to the beauty and importance of botanical art in the 19th century and beyond.
