EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the renowned Queen Victoria's Rose, a hybrid tea rose (Rosa chinensis) that was first cultivated by the French horticulturist, William Paul, in the mid-19th century. The rose, named in honor of Queen Victoria's golden jubilee in 1887, is a stunning embodiment of Paul's horticultural prowess and the Victorian era's fascination with roses. The image, taken from the highly regarded horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1851, showcases the rose in all its splendor. The delicate petals of the rose are a rich, velvety red hue, with a golden yellow center, and its lush, full bloom is surrounded by lush greenery, adding to its regal and elegant appearance. The intricate details of the rose's petals and the vibrant colors are expertly captured through the handcoloring technique, making this lithograph a true work of art. The meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality production values of the publication are evident in this beautiful image, which serves as a testament to the beauty and allure of the Queen Victoria's Rose and the art of horticulture during the Victorian era.
