EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching, titled "La Rose panache d'Angleterre" or "The English Hybrid Rose," is a stunning example of horticultural art from the esteemed Pierre Joseph Buchoz Collection Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses, published in Paris in 1776. The image showcases the beauty and intricacy of the English hybrid rose, a beloved flower that was cultivated in both Chinese and European gardens during the 18th century. The English hybrid rose, a member of the Rosa species, is depicted in full bloom, its velvety petals unfurling to reveal their rich, vibrant hue. The rose's distinctive panache, or the cluster of leaves and thorns at its base, adds texture and depth to the image. The delicate veining and shading in the etching bring the petals to life, capturing the delicate balance between the flower's strength and fragility. The etching is a testament to the artistry and skill of the French engraver, who meticulously captured the essence of this beloved flower. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of beauty and depth, enhancing the natural colors of the rose and bringing out its unique features. The English hybrid rose was a popular subject for botanical illustrations during the 18th century, as it was prized for its beauty and the challenge it presented to horticulturists. This etching is a rare and beautiful example of the artistry and scientific curiosity of the time, offering a glimpse into the world of horticulture and natural history during the Age of Enlightenment.
