EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of a Provence rose, also known as the cabbage rose or Rosa centifolia. The intricately detailed image, created by the skilled hands of engraver D.G. and based on an illustration by Pancrace Bessa, captures the essence of this beloved rose variety. With its lush, velvety petals unfurling around a central button of golden stamens, this rose is a true embodiment of romance and charm. The Provence rose, or Rose a cent feuilles, is a classic old rose variety, prized for its abundant, fragrant blooms. Its name derives from the Latin centum, meaning 'hundred,' and feuilles, meaning 'leaves,' referring to the intricate, fringed edges of its leaves. This rose was a popular subject in botanical illustrations during the 19th century, as evidenced by its inclusion in Charles Malos's esteemed publication, "Garland of Flowers," published by Chez Janet in Paris in 1815. In this engraving, the delicate petals of the rose are artfully rendered using a combination of stipple and line techniques, creating a miniature work of art. The intricate details of the rose's veining, the delicate fringes of its leaves, and the delicate, golden stamens are all meticulously captured, showcasing the artist's mastery of the medium. The Provence rose is not to be confused with the Tulip, Tulipa, or Gesneriana, despite their similar names. While the Provence rose is a beloved rose variety, the Tulip and Gesneriana are unrelated plants, the former being a bulbous perennial and the latter a tropical plant. This engraving, however, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the Provence rose and the artistry of the botanical illustrators of the past.
