EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored lithograph depicts the exquisite Hybrid Amaryllis with striped crimson and white flowers, also known as Amaryllis 'Olga'. The beautiful illustration was drawn and lithographed by the talented Worthington G. Smith in 1872 for Henry Honywood Dombrain's Floral Magazine. Worthington G. Smith (1835-1917) was an architect, engraver, and mycologist, whose artistic abilities extended beyond his primary fields. He was also a prolific illustrator, contributing to various publications including The Gardeners Chronicle. Henry Honywood Dombrain (1818-1905), a clergyman gardener, served as editor of the Floral Magazine from 1862 to 1873. Under his tenure, the magazine became a leading source for botanical information and illustrations, showcasing the work of skilled artists and illustrators like Smith. The Amaryllis 'Olga' featured in this lithograph is a hybrid variety, its vibrant crimson and white striped petals a testament to the beauty and diversity of the Amaryllis family. The intricate details of the flower's structure are expertly captured in the illustration, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection. This historical artwork not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of the Amaryllis 'Olga', but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration during the Victorian era. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcoloring further enhance the visual appeal of this timeless piece.
