1872 Antirrhinum Dombrain Honywood Hybrid Robinson Snapdragon Worthington Smith
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored botanical print showcases two stunning Antirrhinum, or snapdragon, hybrids, W. Robinson and Delicatum. The intricate details of these flowers were meticulously drawn and lithographed by the skilled hand of Worthington G. Smith in 1872 for Henry Honywood Dombrain's Floral Magazine. Worthington Smith (1835-1917) was not only an accomplished architect and engraver, but also a mycologist, demonstrating his versatility and passion for the natural world. Smith's illustrations graced the pages of numerous publications, including The Gardeners Chronicle. Henry Honywood Dombrain (1818-1905), a clergyman with a keen interest in gardening, served as editor of the Floral Magazine from 1862 to 1873. Under his tenure, the magazine became a respected platform for showcasing the latest botanical discoveries and advancements in horticulture. The Antirrhinum, or snapdragons, depicted in this print are hybrids, meaning they were bred from the deliberate crossing of two different species. The W. Robinson hybrid displays a rich, velvety red color with ruffled petals, while the Delicatum boasts delicate, white blooms with a subtle pink blush. This print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of these beloved flowers as they were admired over a century ago. The handcoloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy, making this a truly enchanting addition to any botanical collection.
