EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting Austrian Copper Rose, Rosa foetida, also known as the Capucine or Damask Rose. The illustration is taken from the esteemed botanical work "Homage Rendu à la Rose" (Homage Rendered to the Rose), published in Paris around 1815. The illustration was created by the talented Mlle. Prudhomme, whose meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the rose's velvety petals, which have a coppery hue when fully open. Rosa foetida is an ancient variety of garden rose, with origins dating back to Persia and the Mediterranean. Its captivating beauty and intoxicating fragrance have made it a favorite among rose enthusiasts for centuries. The Austrian Copper Rose is particularly noteworthy for its unique coloration, which ranges from coppery-red to deep burgundy, with a golden base that gives it an otherworldly glow. The copperplate engraving process involves creating an image on a copper plate, which is then inked and pressed onto paper to produce a high-quality, detailed print. The handcoloring of the print adds an additional layer of artistry, bringing the rose to life with vibrant colors that capture its true essence. This vignette, or decorative border, adds an elegant touch to the overall design, making it a beautiful addition to any botanical collection or garden-themed decor. The Austrian Copper Rose continues to captivate and inspire, a testament to its enduring beauty and historical significance in the world of horticulture.
