EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 19th-century print captures the timeless beauty of Rosa Mollissima, also known as the Soft-leaved Rose. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to appreciate the historical significance and charm of this beloved flower. Rosa Mollissima, a species of old rose, was first discovered in the early 1800s in the Caucasus Mountains. Its soft, velvety petals and delicate, fragrant blooms quickly captured the hearts of gardeners and botanists alike. The rose was named for its mollis, or soft, leaves, which contrasted starkly with the prickly stems and thorns common in many other rose varieties. This print, produced during the height of the Victorian era, reflects the fascination with roses that swept through Europe during this time. Roses were not only cherished for their beauty but also for their symbolic meaning. In Victorian culture, roses were used to convey complex emotions, with each color representing a different sentiment. For example, red roses symbolized love and passion, while white roses represented purity and innocence. The intricate details of the Rosa Mollissima in this print are a testament to the artistry of the time. The delicate folds of the petals, the veins on the leaves, and the subtle shading all contribute to a stunning representation of this iconic flower. The print also showcases the meticulous attention to detail that was a hallmark of Victorian botanical illustrations. As we gaze at this beautiful print, we are transported back to a time when roses were a source of inspiration, beauty, and meaning. The Rosa Mollissima continues to captivate us today, reminding us of the rich history and enduring allure of these magnificent flowers.
