EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting Cabbage Rose, or Damask Rose, Rosa centifolia, as illustrated by David Blair for Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's Medicinal Plants publication in London, 1880. The intricate beauty of this rose is captured in stunning detail, with its velvety petals unfurling around a dense, cabbage-like center. The delicate mossy green hues of the leaves and stems provide a perfect contrast to the rich, deep pink petals, making this a true masterpiece of botanical art. The Cabbage Rose, also known as the Damask Rose, is a timeless flower that has been cultivated for its fragrant blooms and medicinal properties for centuries. Its petals have been used in herbal medicine to make teas and tinctures, while the essential oil extracted from the flowers is prized for its sweet, rosy scent. In traditional medicine, the Cabbage Rose was believed to have a cooling effect on the body and was used to treat various ailments, including fever, inflammation, and digestive issues. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the botanical illustrators of the late 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Cabbage Rose to life, transporting us to a time when the natural world was a source of wonder and inspiration. Whether used as a decorative piece or as a study in botanical art, this print is a true treasure for any collection.
