EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored lithograph depicts the richly blooming Oncidium croesus, also known as the "Acid Yellow and Chocolate Brown" orchid. The exquisite detail in this botanical illustration was drawn and lithographed by the talented Worthington G. Smith, an architect, engraver, and mycologist, for the Floral Magazine in 1872. Smith's work was published under the editorship of Henry Honywood Dombrain, a clergyman and gardener, who oversaw the magazine from 1862 to 1873. The Oncidium croesus is a beautiful epiphytic orchid, native to Central and South America. Its vibrant, acid yellow and deep chocolate brown flowers bloom in clusters, adding a touch of elegance and allure to any environment. The intricate design of the petals, sepals, and labellum are expertly captured in this illustration, showcasing the delicate beauty of this remarkable plant. This botanical artwork is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of Worthington G. Smith and the dedication of Henry Honywood Dombrain to the study and documentation of plants. The handcoloring adds an extra layer of richness and depth to the illustration, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. This image provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of botanical exploration and discovery during the late 19th century. It is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the importance of preserving and celebrating it through art and science.
