EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting handcolored lithograph, titled "Tea Flower Fairy, Camellia sinensis, Pouring a Cup of Tea," is an exquisite example of the whimsical illustrations found in Louise Leneveux's "Les Fleurs Parlantes" (The Talking Flowers), published by Louis Janet in Paris in 1848. The image features a delicate tea flower fairy, identified by the scientific name Camellia sinensis, gracefully pouring a steaming cup of tea. The intricate details of the fairy's ethereal wings, delicate features, and flowing gown are beautifully rendered in the lithographic process. The Camellia sinensis plant, native to Asia, is the source of the popular beverage that has been enjoyed for thousands of years. The tea plant is depicted in the image with its distinctive leaves and buds, adding to the overall charm of the illustration. The historical significance of tea is reflected in the image, as the beverage had already gained popularity in Europe by the mid-19th century. The intricate handcoloring adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the illustration, making it a prized possession for collectors of historical botanical art. Louis Lassalle, the talented artist behind this lithograph, expertly captured the essence of the tea flower fairy, creating a magical and otherworldly scene that continues to captivate viewers to this day. This unique and beautiful work of art is a testament to the enduring appeal of tea and the power of imagination.
