EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Evergreen Sedge (Carex sempervirens), a plant belonging to the Cyperaceae family. The vibrant colors and intricate details are brought to life through the technique of colour lithography, as executed by an anonymous German artist from the 19th century. Originally featured in Anton Hartinger's "Atlas of the Alpine flora" (Atlas der Alpenflora) published between 1881 and 1884, this illustration is a testament to both scientific accuracy and artistic finesse. The image captures the essence of this perennial grass-like plant, known for its resilience and ability to maintain its verdant allure throughout all seasons. The Evergreen Sedge stands tall amidst other plants in this composition, showcasing its unique characteristics within the Poales order. Its slender leaves gracefully cascade downwards while delicate flowers emerge at their tips, adding a touch of elegance to its overall appearance. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of nature's diversity and complexity. It invites us into a world where botany intertwines with artistry, offering us an opportunity to appreciate not only the aesthetic appeal but also gain insight into various species that inhabit our planet. Displayed here as part of a private collection, this print allows us to admire one small fragment from Hartinger's comprehensive work on alpine flora. It is undoubtedly an invaluable addition for enthusiasts interested in exploring botanical wonders or those seeking inspiration from nature's boundless creations.
