EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration, titled "Rose Bengale Bichonne, China Rose, Rosa Indica, and Hybrid Tea Rose," is a stunning example of botanical art from the 19th century. Created by the skilled hands of Pancrace Bessa and meticulously stipple engraved by Teillard, this illustration is taken from Charles Malos' Histoire des Roses, published in Paris in 1818. The illustration showcases four distinct varieties of roses: the Rose Bengale Bichonne, China Rose, Rosa Indica, and Hybrid Tea Rose. The Rose Bengale Bichonne, also known as the Bengal Damask Rose, is a beautiful pink rose with a rich history. Originating in India, it was brought to Europe in the 17th century and was highly prized for its fragrance and unique color. The China Rose, or Rosa indica, is a species of rose native to China. It is characterized by its large, velvety, and fragrant flowers, which come in shades of pink, red, and white. The Hybrid Tea Rose, on the other hand, is a modern cultivar that was developed through selective breeding in the late 19th century. It is known for its large, showy flowers and long stems, making it a popular choice for cut flower arrangements. This illustration provides a glimpse into the rich history of roses and the art of botanical illustration during the 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these beautiful flowers to life, transporting us back in time to a world where the study and appreciation of nature was a cherished pastime.
