EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting Cedar Sage, Salvia roemeriana, also known as dwarf crimson-flowered sage or Salvia porphyrantha. The image is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1856. The Cedar Sage is a small, evergreen shrub native to Central and South America, boasting velvety, aromatic leaves and vibrant, crimson-red flowers. The plant's common name, Cedar Sage, is derived from its cedar-like scent, which is reminiscent of the aroma of the Cedar of Lebanon tree. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the beauty and elegance of this plant. The delicate, hand-painted colors bring the Cedar Sage to life, highlighting its rich, velvety leaves and the vibrant crimson hue of its flowers. The lithographic process, a popular method for producing high-quality, detailed images during the 19th century, ensures a level of detail and precision that accurately captures the essence of this remarkable plant. The Cedar Sage was a popular addition to European gardens during the Victorian era, and its inclusion in prestigious horticultural publications like "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" attests to its value and desirability. Today, this enchanting plant continues to captivate gardeners and plant enthusiasts with its delicate beauty and captivating aroma.
