EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the exquisite Rosa centifolia, also known as the "Cabbage Rose" or "Hundred-Leaved Rose." The illustration is a masterpiece of botanical art, created by the skilled hand of Sydenham Edwards for William Curtis's Lectures on Botany, delivered at the Botanic Garden in Lambeth, London, in 1805. Edwards, a prolific artist, produced thousands of botanical plates for both the Curtis Botanical Magazine and his own Botanical Register. His meticulous attention to detail and artistic flair are evident in this beautiful representation of the Rose centifolia. The delicate petals, each tinged with a subtle hue of pink, are intricately rendered, while the veins and stamen are depicted with remarkable precision. The history of this rose dates back to ancient Greece, where it was believed to have originated in the Middle East. It was highly prized for its fragrant flowers and was often used as a symbol of love and beauty. The name "centifolia" refers to the hundred petals that surround the central circle of stamens. This botanical illustration not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of the Rose centifolia but also serves as an important record of its historical significance. The intricate engraving process, combined with the artistry of Edwards, captures the essence of this beloved flower and provides a glimpse into the rich history of botanical exploration during the early 19th century.
