EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the enchanting beauty of the Pale Rose, Rosa centifolia, a timeless symbol of love and grace. The delicate bloom, with its intricately layered petals unfurling around a compact, perfectly formed center, is captured in stunning detail in this botanical illustration. Originally published as part of Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, this image showcases the meticulous artistry and scientific precision of the late 19th century. Rosa centifolia, also known as the Hundred-Petaled Rose, is a classic Old Rose variety, prized for its elegant, fragrant blossoms. The pale pink hue of its petals, which can range from soft blush to nearly white, adds to its ethereal allure. This rose species has a rich history, dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, where it was highly valued for its medicinal properties. The plant was believed to have healing powers, particularly for skin conditions, and was used in various remedies and cosmetics. The chromolithograph process, which involved the transfer of color images from lithographic stones to paper, allowed for the creation of highly detailed and vibrant botanical illustrations. This technique, combined with the exceptional artistry of the illustrator, results in an image that not only captures the essence of the Pale Rose but also stands as a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world.
