L’Illustration Horticole (c. 1870–1890) was one of the most celebrated botanical journals of 19th-century France and Belgium — and its chromolithographs of Tagetes erecta and patula capture the blazing oranges of the marigold at the peak of the golden age of horticultural publishing. The front cover carries these luminous plates set on a warm brown background with orange frame; the back presents the extraordinary crimson-to-cream range of the Œillets de Verviers carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus), the celebrated Belgian cultivar whose bicolor blooms made it one of the most prized flowers of the 19th-century European garden.
