The image, taken from Charles Malos's "Garland of Flowers" published in Paris in 1816, is an illustration by the renowned French flower painter, Pancrace Bessa. The intricate details of the tulips are brought to life through Bessa's skilled brushstrokes and the meticulous process of copperplate engraving by D.G. The engraving features an array of tulip varieties, each with unique and captivating characteristics. The tulips are depicted against a backdrop of other botanical delights, including poppies (Papaver rhoeas) and a poppy (Papaver), adding to the overall charm and beauty of the composition. The delicate shades of color and fine stippling technique used in the hand-coloring process further enhance the realism and allure of the image. Bessa was one of the leading flower painters of the 19th century, known for his exceptional talent in capturing the essence and intricacies of various blossoms. This engraving is a testament to his skill and the enduring appeal of the tulip, a symbol of spring and renewal. The "Garland of Flowers" was a popular gift book for ladies, showcasing fine miniature botanicals and adding elegance and sophistication to any home or collection.
