EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration, titled "Grande cuisse de nymphe rose" or "Great maidens blush rose," showcases two beautiful and historically significant rose varieties: the Great Maidens Blush rose (Rosa alba hybrid) and the Duchess of Portland rose (Rosa portlandica). The illustration, created by the skilled hand of Pancrace Bessa and meticulously stipple engraved by Teillard, is taken from Charles Malo's "Histoire des Roses," published in Paris in 1818. The Great Maidens Blush rose, also known as the Alba Plena or the Pink Alba, is a charming hybrid of the white Alba rose. Its distinctive pink blush coloration, which appears when the buds open, adds an alluring touch to its classic white blooms. This rose was a popular choice in Victorian gardens and continues to be admired for its timeless beauty. The Duchess of Portland rose, on the other hand, is a captivating and rare variety, characterized by its large, velvety pink flowers with a distinctive yellow eye. This rose was discovered in the gardens of the Duke and Duchess of Portland in Wales in the late 18th century and was later named in their honor. The Duchess of Portland rose is a true treasure, with its enchanting appearance and rich history. This botanical illustration not only showcases the captivating beauty of these two rose varieties but also serves as a window into the past, providing a glimpse into the world of roses during the early 19th century. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate petals of the roses to the intricate patterns on the leaves, are a testament to the artistry and dedication of Pancrace Bessa and Teillard. This beautiful and historical piece is a must-have for any rose enthusiast, botanical art collector, or anyone who appreciates the natural world and its beauty.
