EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Field Rose, Rosa arvensis, as it was depicted in the esteemed pages of Samuel Curtis' Botanical Magazine in London, published in 1819. The delicate petals of this wild rose, with their soft pink hue and subtle veining, unfurl gracefully around its yellow stamens, creating a captivating contrast. The intricate details of the rose's velvety leaves, thorns, and stem are meticulously rendered, revealing the skill and artistry of the engraver. The Field Rose, also known as the Dog Rose or Wild Rose, is a common sight in fields and meadows across Europe and Asia. It is a hardy and adaptable plant, thriving in various climates and soil types. This versatile rose is not only a beloved ornamental flower but also provides edible hips that can be made into jams, jellies, and teas, making it a valuable addition to the natural world. The publication of this botanical illustration in the Botanical Magazine was a significant event in the history of botany, as it was one of the most influential and respected botanical journals of its time. Founded in 1797 by William Curtis, the magazine aimed to promote the study and appreciation of plants and their illustration through high-quality engravings and detailed descriptions. This Field Rose engraving is a testament to the magazine's commitment to documenting the natural world and preserving its beauty for future generations.
