EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Moss Rose, Rosa centifolia f. muscosa, also known as Rosa muscosa. The image is derived from a botanical illustration published in The Botanical Magazine, a renowned horticultural publication based in Lambeth Marsh, London, in 1788. The illustration was produced under the direction of William Curtis, an influential figure in the world of botany, with James Sowerby, Sydenham Edwards, and other skilled engravers contributing to the intricate details of the print. The Moss Rose, with its captivating charm, is a variety of the Centifolia Rose, known for its distinctive velvety, fragrant blooms. The term "muscosa" refers to the mossy texture that covers the stems and leaves of this particular species, adding an extra layer of allure to its already stunning appearance. The delicate petals of the flower are arranged in perfect symmetry, forming a captivating rosette, and the intricate veining and texture of the leaves are expertly captured in the engraving. The Botanical Magazine was a pioneering publication in the field of botanical illustration, providing an accurate record of plants and their various forms, and contributing significantly to the advancement of horticulture and gardening. This Moss Rose engraving is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artists and engravers involved, and remains a beautiful and intriguing piece of botanical art to this day.
