EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored lithograph depicts the exquisite Rosa persica, also known as the Persian Rose or the Simple-leaved Persian Rose. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Borromee and beautifully rendered in lithographic form by Lecouturier for Pierre Boitard's "Rose-Lovers Complete Manual" published in Paris in 1836. The Rosa persica is a beautiful and fragrant shrub that hails from the eastern Mediterranean and Central Asia. Its simple, glossy green leaves provide a perfect backdrop for its clusters of velvety, dark red flowers. The petals of these flowers unfurl to reveal a luscious, golden-yellow center, making them a true sight to behold. The Persian Rose has been cultivated for thousands of years for its fragrant flowers, which are used to make perfumes, attars, and essential oils. In addition to their aromatic qualities, the petals are also edible and are used in various culinary applications, particularly in Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine. This beautiful botanical illustration offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of horticulture and botany during the 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Rosa persica to life, making it a true work of art as well as a valuable record of this beloved plant. Whether appreciated for its beauty, fragrance, or culinary uses, the Persian Rose continues to captivate and inspire us today. This exquisite lithograph is a testament to the enduring allure of this magnificent flower and the art of botanical illustration.
