EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting handcolored steel engraving captures the ethereal beauty of the Eglantine Rose Fairy, Rosa eglantera. The image is based on an illustration by Jean Ignace Isidore Grandville from the renowned collection "Les Fleurs Animees" or "Animated Flowers," published in Paris by Gabriel de Gonet in 1847. Grandville, a master of satire and whimsy, brought the flowers to life by personifying them as fantastical beings. The Eglantine Rose Fairy is depicted gracefully wearing a flowing dress adorned with delicate rosebuds, leaves, and thorns. Her diaphanous wings are shaped like rose petals, and her crown is formed from intertwined rose stems. She stands amidst a lush garden of roses, with their vibrant colors and intricate details beautifully rendered in handcoloring. Rosa eglantera, also known as the Sweet Briar Rose, is a beloved flower for its fragrant blooms and prickly stems. In folklore, the Eglantine Rose is often associated with love and romance, as well as protection against evil. This engraving captures the magical allure of the rose and the fairy world, transporting us to a realm of wonder and enchantment. The intricate details of the engraving and the vibrant handcoloring showcase the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. The image is a testament to the rich history of flower fairies and the enduring appeal of their whimsical world.
