EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored illustration showcases two stunning pelargonium geranium hybrids, Mareschal and McMahon, captured in their full glory by the skilled hand of Worthington Smith in 1872. Smith, an architect, engraver, and mycologist, was a prolific contributor to various horticultural publications, including The Gardeners Chronicle and H.H. Dombrain's Floral Magazine. Dombrain, a clergyman and gardener, edited the Floral Magazine from 1862 to 1873, where Smith's illustrations were regularly featured. The vibrant colors of the pelargonium geraniums are brought to life through the intricate hand-coloring process, enhancing the intricate details of their petals and leaves. Mareschal and McMahon are two distinct pelargonium hybrids, each displaying unique characteristics. Mareschal, with its yellow and brown hues, boasts a rich, earthy color palette that adds warmth and depth to any garden setting. McMahon, on the other hand, is a crimson beauty, its fiery red petals a striking contrast against the deep green foliage. The lithograph technique used to create this illustration allowed for precise detail and an almost three-dimensional effect, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection. This image not only showcases the beauty of these pelargonium geranium hybrids but also offers a glimpse into the rich horticultural history of the late 19th century. Worthington Smith's dedication to capturing the essence of these plants through his illustrations continues to inspire and delight horticulturists and art enthusiasts alike, making this a truly timeless piece.
