EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored lithograph depicts a Hybrid Odontoglossum orchid with stunning white flowers, dotted with delicate purple hues. The intricate details of the bloom are beautifully rendered in this botanical illustration, drawn and lithographed by the skilled hand of Worthington G. Smith. Smith was an architect, engraver, and mycologist, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his contributions to various scientific publications. He also illustrated The Gardeners Chronicle and worked with Henry Honywood Dombrain on the Floral Magazine from 1862 to 1873. Dombrain, a clergyman gardener and editor of the Floral Magazine, was instrumental in promoting the study and cultivation of exotic plants during this period. This particular illustration was published in the Floral Magazine in 1872, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the Odontoglossum orchid, specifically the hybrid Andersonianum. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors of the orchid are brought to life through Smith's masterful use of lithography, making this a valuable historical record of botanical art and horticultural history.
