EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of the White azalea hybrid, Azalea Beauty of Surrey. The botanical illustration was meticulously drawn and lithographed by the talented Worthington G. Smith in 1872, for publication in Henry Honywood Dombrain's Floral Magazine. Smith, an architect, engraver, and mycologist, was known for his exceptional botanical illustrations, having also contributed to The Gardeners Chronicle. Dombrain, a clergyman gardener, served as the editor of the Floral Magazine from 1862 to 1873. The Azalea Beauty of Surrey is a stunning hybrid, its pristine white petals unfurling in perfect symmetry around its delicate center. The intricate details of the azalea's veined leaves and the delicate texture of its petals are expertly captured in this beautiful work of art. The lithograph's handcoloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the illustration, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration during the Victorian era. The Floral Magazine, under Dombrain's editorship, was a leading publication for horticultural enthusiasts, providing a platform for the dissemination of new and exciting plant discoveries. The publication of this illustration of the Azalea Beauty of Surrey would have been a source of great excitement and inspiration for its readers, who could only dream of owning such a beautiful and rare plant in their own gardens. Today, this stunning botanical print serves as a reminder of the beauty and importance of the natural world, and the role that botanical illustration plays in documenting and celebrating the wonders of the plant kingdom.
