EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting Alpine rose, Rosa alpina, also known as the Alpine pink or Alpine rose, Rose des Alpes in French. The image is a beautiful reproduction of a botanical illustration by Borromee, skillfully rendered by Lecouturier for Pierre Boitard's "Rose-Lovers Complete Manual" published in Paris in 1836. The Alpine rose is a hardy, low-growing shrub native to the European Alps and other mountainous regions. With its delicate pink to deep red flowers, this charming perennial blooms profusely from late spring to early autumn, adding a splash of color to the rugged alpine landscapes. The intricate details of the Alpine rose's foliage and flowers are masterfully captured in this lithograph, showcasing the botanical illustration's meticulous attention to detail. The delicate veining on the leaves and the delicate petals of the flower are rendered with remarkable precision, making this print a true work of art. The Alpine rose is not only admired for its beauty but also for its resilience, thriving in harsh conditions and surviving at high altitudes. Its adaptability and hardiness have made it a popular choice for rock gardens and alpine borders in gardens around the world. This handcoloured lithograph is a captivating reminder of the natural wonders of the Alps and the beauty of the Alpine rose. It is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the botanical illustrators of the 19th century and a valuable addition to any collection of botanical prints or garden-themed decor.
