EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration, titled "Damask Rose, Rosa celsiana, and Dog Rose, Rosa canina," is a stunning example of botanical artistry from the 19th century. The illustration, created by Pancrace Bessa and stipple engraved by Teillard, is taken from Charles Malos' "Histoire des Roses," published in Paris in 1818. The illustration showcases three distinct varieties of roses: the Damask rose, Rosa celsiana, and the Dog rose, Rosa canina. The Damask rose, with its velvety petals and rich, complex fragrance, is a perennial favorite in gardens around the world. The Rosa celsiana, also known as the Provence Damask rose, is characterized by its glossy, dark green leaves and large, fragrant flowers. The Dog rose, Rosa canina, is a wild rose species that is native to Europe and Asia. Its shiny, green leaves and clusters of small, white to pink flowers make it a beautiful addition to gardens and natural landscapes. The illustration captures the intricate details of each rose's petals, leaves, and stems, providing a close-up view of their unique textures and forms. The use of handcoloring adds an extra layer of beauty to the illustration, bringing out the vibrant hues of the roses' petals and enhancing their overall appeal. The stipple engraving technique, which involves the use of small dots to create shading and texture, adds depth and dimension to the image. Overall, this illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of botanical illustration during the 19th century, and a beautiful reminder of the enduring allure of roses.
