1. Title: Burnet Rose, Rosa spinosissima flore flavo: A Vibrant and Historical Botanical Illustration 2. Description: This handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the Burnet rose, Rosa spinosissima flore flavo, in all its splendor. The image is derived from a meticulous illustration drawn from nature by Stark, as featured in Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children) published in Weimar between 1790 and 1830. The Burnet rose, also known as the Dog Rose or Sweet Briar, is a thorny shrub native to Europe, western Asia, and northwestern Africa. Its vibrant, yellow-flowered variety is depicted in this enchanting illustration. The delicate petals of the flower contrast beautifully with the intricate, detailed thorns that adorn the rose's stems. 3. Background: Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder was a popular educational publication during the 18th and 19th centuries. The book aimed to teach children about various aspects of nature and the natural world through beautiful and accurate illustrations. This particular engraving of the Burnet rose is a testament to the high-quality botanical illustrations that were produced during this period. The handcoloring technique used in this print adds an extra layer of detail and depth to the illustration, making the Burnet rose appear even more lifelike and captivating. The use of copperplate engraving, a popular method for producing detailed and intricate illustrations during this time, further enhances the image's quality and historical significance. 4. Conclusion: This Burnet rose illustration is not only a stunning example of historical botanical art but also a glimpse into the world of children's education during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and historical significance make this print a valuable addition to any botanical or educational collection.
