"The Daughters of our Empire. England: The Primrose" is an 1887 painting by the British artist Edwin Longsden Long, R.A. (1829–1891). Renowned for his historical and orientalist themes, Long's work often reflects Victorian England's fascination with exotic cultures and the British Empire's reach. This painting, part of a series that explores the daughters of the empire, is a celebration of national identity and imperial pride, encapsulated through the allegorical representation of England.

In "The Primrose," Long employs a visual language rich in symbolism and detail to convey the virtues and values associated with England. The primrose, which is central to the painting's theme, was famously associated with British statesman Benjamin Disraeli, who was a favorite of Queen Victoria and a symbol of conservative England. The flower thus serves as a patriotic emblem, representing the purity, gentleness, and resilience of the English character.

The artwork features a group of young women in a lush, idyllic English garden, each adorned in classical drapery that lends them a timeless grace. The figures are often interpreted as personifications of England's virtues, with the primrose in their midst symbolizing the unity and continuity of the nation. The painting's composition, color palette, and attention to botanical accuracy not only reflect Long's academic training but also his desire to capture the essence of Englishness during the height of the British Empire.

"The Daughters of our Empire. England: The Primrose" is a significant work in Long's oeuvre, offering insight into the cultural and political milieu of late 19th-century Britain. It is a testament to the era's artistic trends, including the influence of classicism, romanticism, and the burgeoning imperialist sentiment. The painting is held in a public or private collection, and it continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its reflection of the imperialist attitudes of its time.
