a stunning handcolored stipple copperplate engraving, showcases the enchanting beauty of the Provence rose, Rosa gallica var. This exquisite botanical illustration was created by the skilled hands of Pancrace Bessa and meticulously engraved by Barrois, as part of Mordant de Launay's Herbier General de l'Amateur, published in Paris in 1820. The Provence rose, also known as the Old Blush or Provence Blush, is a captivating variety of the wild rose, Rosa gallica. Its velvety petals unfurl in a soft, blush pink hue, with a delicate fragrance that embodies the essence of springtime. The intricate details of the rose's petals, leaves, and thorns are masterfully captured in this historical engraving, allowing us to appreciate the timeless allure of this beloved flower. Botanical illustrations, such as this one, played a crucial role in the scientific exploration and documentation of the natural world during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Herbier General de l'Amateur, or "Amateur's Herbarium," was a comprehensive collection of botanical illustrations, which aimed to provide an accurate and detailed record of various plant species. This engraving of the Provence rose is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanists, illustrators, and engravers who contributed to this remarkable work. As we admire the intricate details and vibrant colors of this historical print, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of the Provence rose, both in the past and in the present. This engraving serves as a reminder of the rich history of botanical illustration and the enduring allure of the natural world.
