EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored lithograph showcases a captivating assortment of fancy pansies, meticulously drawn and lithographed by the talented Worthington G. Smith for the Floral Magazine in 1872. The magazine, edited by the reverend Henry Honywood Dombrain, was a leading horticultural publication of its time. The pansies depicted in this print include James Nelson, Lady Ross, John B. Downie, and David Mitchell varieties. Each pansy is rendered in exquisite detail, revealing their unique characteristics and intricate patterns. The delicate petals, vibrant colors, and intricate foliage are beautifully captured, making this print a true testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time. Worthington Smith was a remarkable figure in his own right, not only an architect and engraver, but also a mycologist. His contributions to botanical illustration were significant, as evidenced by this stunning pansy print. Smith's work for the Floral Magazine, under the guidance of Dombrain, showcases the beauty and diversity of the natural world, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the rich history of horticulture. This print is not only a beautiful addition to any garden or botanical enthusiast's collection, but also a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the world of Victorian-era horticulture and the passion for botanical discovery that drove the publication of the Floral Magazine.
