EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print of roses, engraved by William Barnetts Copperplate Process after Robert John Thornton's original watercolor paintings, is taken from Thornton's renowned horticultural book, "The Temple of Flora," published between 1799 and 1807. The image showcases a lush arrangement of roses in various shades of pink, yellow, white, and red, with a few buds still in their unopened state. The roses are depicted in a naturalistic setting, with birds nesting among their branches and eggs in their nests. The intricate details of the petals, leaves, and bird feathers are a testament to the skillful engraving techniques of the time. Robert John Thornton (1768-1837), a Scottish botanist and artist, created "The Temple of Flora" to showcase the beauty and diversity of flowers, with a particular focus on roses. The book was published during the Georgian era, a time when an interest in natural history and botany was at an all-time high. The engravings in "The Temple of Flora" were produced using the latest printing technology of the time, William Barnetts Copperplate Process, which allowed for high-quality, detailed images. This print, dated 1805, is a stunning example of the artistic and scientific achievements of the time. It invites us to appreciate the natural world and the intricate details of the roses, while also serving as a historical record of horticultural practices and artistic techniques from over two centuries ago.
