EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured botanical illustration showcases the enchanting Syringa villosa, a pale lilac flower native to northern China. The illustration was meticulously drawn by Matilda Smith and beautifully lithographed by E. Bates for the prestigious Curtis Botanical Magazine, published in 1889 by L. Reeve & Co. The Curtis Botanical Magazine, established in 1847, is renowned for its high-quality botanical illustrations and has played a significant role in documenting the world's diverse flora. Matilda Smith, a talented botanical artist, captured the intricate details of the Syringa villosa with remarkable precision and artistry. The delicate petals, veined leaves, and intricate stamen structures are all rendered in stunning detail, revealing the unique beauty of this rare flower. The Syringa villosa, also known as the Downy Lilac, is a deciduous shrub that is native to northern China. It belongs to the olive family (Oleaceae) and is characterized by its downy stems and pale lilac flowers. The shrub typically grows to be around 3-6 meters tall and blooms in late spring or early summer. This historical botanical illustration not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of the Syringa villosa but also serves as an important record of its existence and natural history. The intricate details captured in this illustration provide valuable insights into the morphology and characteristics of this beautiful flower, making it an essential addition to any botanical collection or scientific archive.
