EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored stipple engraving, titled "Carnation and Marigold" from Le Jardinier Fleuriste, showcases the captivating beauty of two beloved blooms: the Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) and the Marigold (Calendula officinalis). Dated back to 1818, this charming print was part of a gift book for ladies, dedicated to the art of floristry and horticulture. The work was published in Paris by an amateur, adding a personal touch to the already delightful presentation. The Carnation, with its velvety petals and distinctive fragrance, has been a favorite flower since ancient times. Its name is derived from the Latin word "coronation," reflecting its historical significance as a symbol of love, honor, and victory. The Marigold, on the other hand, is renowned for its vibrant orange and yellow hues and its ability to radiate a sunny disposition. It was believed to have healing properties and was often used in traditional medicine. The intricate handcoloring and meticulous stipple engraving techniques employed in this print further highlight the delicate details of these flowers, making them appear as if they have been plucked straight from a garden and placed upon the page. This piece of botanical art not only serves as a testament to the timeless allure of these flowers but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of floristry and horticulture during the early 19th century.
