EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the captivating Scarlet Sage cultivar, Salvia splendens souchetii. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1856. The Scarlet Sage, Salvia splendens, is a popular and beloved perennial in gardens around the world, known for its vibrant, scarlet-red flowers that bloom profusely throughout the summer. In this exquisite illustration, we can appreciate the intricate details of its delicate, tubular blossoms and the lush, green foliage that frames them. The cultivar souchetii is a particularly noteworthy selection, characterized by its unique, elongated flower spikes and its ability to produce flowers for an extended period. The plant's rich, red hue is further enhanced by the skillful handcolouring, which brings the image to life and adds depth and dimension to the original lithograph. Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires were renowned botanical illustrators of their time, and their collaborative work, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," remains a significant contribution to the field of horticulture and botanical art. This image of the Scarlet Sage cultivar, Salvia splendens souchetii, is a testament to their exceptional talent and dedication to documenting the beauty of the natural world.
