1. Title: "A Floral Duo: Small Provence Rose and Dijon Rose - A Botanical Delight from the Past" This handcolored copperplate engraving, hailing from the "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" (Picture Book for Children) published by Bertuch in Weimar between 1790 and 1830, showcases the exquisite beauty of the Small Provence Rose (Rosa x 'Provence') and the Dijon Rose (Rosa gallica 'Madame Hardy'). The Small Provence Rose, depicted on the left, is a charming and delicate flower with its pink petals unfurling around a golden center, embodying the essence of Old Provence. Its rich history can be traced back to the Mediterranean region, where it thrived in the warm, sunny climate. This rose was a favorite among the French aristocracy and was often used in perfumery for its delightful fragrance. On the right, the Dijon Rose, or 'Madame Hardy', is a stunning red rose with velvety petals and a strong, sweet scent. Named after Madame Hardy, a French gardener, this rose was first introduced in 1824. The Dijon Rose was a popular choice for rose breeders and gardeners due to its disease resistance and exceptional fragrance. This botanical illustration, drawn from nature by Stark, serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the time. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and meticulous shading demonstrate the skill and dedication of the artist and the engraver. This enchanting image invites us to appreciate the natural world and the beauty it holds, while offering a glimpse into the rich history of these beloved roses.
