EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases a captivating Hybrid Poppy, also known as Pavot or Papaver rhoeas. The image is a meticulously detailed reproduction of an original illustration by the renowned French flower painter, Pancrace Bessa. The engraving is taken from Charles Malos' Guirlande de Flore, or Garland of Flowers, published in Paris in 1816 by Chez Janet. Bessa was one of the most distinguished flower painters of the 19th century, known for his exceptional ability to capture the delicate beauty and intricacy of various botanical specimens. The Hybrid Poppy is depicted in full bloom, its vibrant red petals unfurled around a dark center, revealing the intricate stamen and pistil. Surrounding the Poppy are other beautiful flowers, including a Pink Carnation, a Clove Pink, an Oillet, and a Caryophyllus Dianthus. Each flower is rendered with the same level of precision and artistry, making this engraving a true testament to Bessa's skill and dedication to botanical illustration. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, bringing out the true colors and textures of each flower. The stipple art technique employed in the engraving process further enhances the intricacy and detail, resulting in a visually stunning and highly collectible work of art. This beautiful engraving is a rare and valuable example of the art of botanical illustration during the 19th century, and a testament to the enduring beauty and fascination of flowers.
