Lilian B. Bird Chrysanthemum

The Lilian B. Bird Chrysanthemum belongs to the Nessima Collection. Although it resembles the somewhat the form of the old Gloire Rayonnante, in color in is a soft delicate shrimp pink, a tint quite new to the Chrysanthemum.

This beautiful lithograph with pronounced Japanese influence, is based from a nature study watercolor by James Callowhill.

Accompanying this print is a companion poem called Loves Messenger by Edith M. Thomas.
