EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph by Louis Prang, titled "Roses, Rosa canina, with Incense Censer and Calligraphic Poem," is a stunning example of the intricate beauty and artistry of the Victorian era. The image features a lush arrangement of Rosa canina roses, their velvety petals unfurling in a riot of red and pink hues. The roses are artfully arranged around an ornate incense censer, its intricate metalwork design adding an air of mystique and allure. The calligraphic poem inscribed at the bottom of the print adds an elegant touch, its flowing script a beautiful contrast to the bold, vibrant roses. The illustration is a masterclass in the Art Nouveau style, with its sinuous lines and organic forms. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for rich, vibrant colors and intricate detail, further enhances the print's beauty. The illustration is taken from Alice Ward Bailey's "Flower Fancies," a collection of botanical prints published in Boston in 1889. The work was illustrated by a team of talented artists and designers, including Lucy Baily, Eleanor Ecob Morse, Olive Whitney, Ellen Fisher, Fidelia Bridges, C. Ryan, and F. Schuyler Mathews. This print is a testament to their skill and dedication to capturing the natural world in all its glory. The ribbon-tied border adds a delicate finishing touch to the print, making it a beautiful addition to any home or office. Whether used as a standalone piece of art or as part of a larger collection, this Roses, Rosa canina, with Incense Censer and Calligraphic Poem chromolithograph is sure to captivate and inspire.
