EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the stunning beauty of the Giant Hyssop, Agastache pallida, also known as Pale Cedronel or Cedronella pallida. The illustration was created by the talented Miss Sarah Drake and masterfully engraved by George Barclay for the Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley in London during 1846. Agastache pallida is a remarkable herbaceous perennial native to the western United States and Mexico. It is characterized by its tall stature, reaching up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) in height, and its dense spikes of small, lavender-blue flowers. The plant's foliage is gray-green, and its aroma is reminiscent of anise or licorice. The Giant Hyssop was a popular subject for botanical illustrators and horticulturists during the Victorian era due to its striking appearance and unique characteristics. Miss Sarah Drake's illustration captures the plant's delicate details, from the intricate veining on its leaves to the delicate petals of its flowers. George Barclay's engraving technique brings the illustration to life, showcasing the vibrant colors and textures of the plant. John Lindley's Edwards Botanical Register was a leading horticultural publication during the 19th century, and this engraving is a testament to the high-quality botanical illustrations and scientific accuracy that it was known for. The publication was a valuable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and gardeners, and this image of the Giant Hyssop would have been a prized addition to any botanical collection. Today, the Giant Hyssop remains a beloved plant among gardeners and herbalists for its attractive appearance and fragrant flowers. This beautiful engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world, and the enduring beauty of botanical illustrations.
