EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting handcolored steel engraving captures the whimsical world of Jean Ignace Isidore Grandville's "Flower Fairies" series, published in Paris by Gabriel de Gonet in 1847. In this particular image, the Rose flower fairy, Rosa centifolia, is depicted gracefully seated on a throne adorned with roses and rosebuds. She wears a magnificent crown made of rosebuds, each one carefully arranged to form a captivating floral halo. The fairy holds a sceptre in one hand, its tip shaped like a beetle, adding a touch of humor to the scene. The Rose flower fairy, also known as the Cabbage Rose or the Hundred-Petaled Rose, is a symbol of love, beauty, and perfection. Grandville's illustration masterfully captures the delicate intricacy of the rose's petals, their velvety texture and rich, intoxicating fragrance brought to life through the skillful use of handcoloring. The satirical undertones of Grandville's work are evident in the presence of the beetles in the illustration. In the Victorian era, beetles were often associated with the underworld and the macabre, adding an element of surprise and intrigue to the otherwise idyllic scene. This exquisite print, created by C. Geoffrois after Grandville's original illustration, is a testament to the enduring allure of whimsy and the power of nature to inspire the imagination. The historical significance of this work, as part of the "Flower Fairies" series, adds an extra layer of interest and value to this enchanting piece.
