1. Title: Sago Palm - A Toxic Beauty: A Handcoloured Steel Engraving of Cycas Revoluta, the Sago Palm or Japanese Sago Palm This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving, created by Lagesse after a botanical illustration by Edouard Maubert, showcases the captivating beauty of the Sago Palm, scientifically known as Cycas revoluta. The image is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale," published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. The Sago Palm, also referred to as the King Sago, Sago Cycad, or Japanese Sago Palm, is a unique and intriguing plant native to the Pacific Islands and eastern Australia. Its striking appearance, with its large, glossy, fan-shaped leaves, has made it a popular ornamental plant in gardens around the world. However, the Sago Palm holds a hidden danger. Every part of this plant, including its starch-rich pith, is toxic and contains cycasin, a potent toxin that can cause severe health issues when ingested. This toxicity has earned the Sago Palm the nickname "the palm of death." Despite its beauty, it is crucial to handle this plant with care and keep it out of reach of children and pets. The intricate details captured in this handcoloured steel engraving not only showcase the visual allure of the Sago Palm but also serve as a reminder of its potential danger. The artistry of Lagesse and Maubert's collaboration provides a stunning visual representation of this fascinating and toxic plant, making it an essential addition to any botanical collection.
