EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting beauty of the French Rose, or Provins Rose, Rosa gallica. The intricate details of the bloom are captured perfectly in this botanical illustration by David Blair, as published in Robert Bentley and Henry Trim's Medicinal Plants in 1880. The delicate petals, rich in hue and texture, unfurl around a central bud, their edges delicately serrated. The stem, adorned with vibrant green leaves, stretches upwards, rooted in the earth below. The French Rose, also known as the Provins Rose, is an old-fashioned rose variety that holds a significant place in the history of horticulture and herbal medicine. This rose species is native to Europe and has been cultivated for its medicinal properties since ancient times. The oil extracted from its petals has been used for various therapeutic applications, including the treatment of skin conditions, inflammation, and even as a perfume ingredient. The artistry of this handcoloured lithograph by Hanhart is a testament to the appreciation and admiration for the natural world during the Victorian era. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colours bring the French Rose to life, allowing us to marvel at its beauty and appreciate its historical significance. This piece is not only a stunning addition to any botanical collection but also a reminder of the rich history and medicinal uses of this beloved flower.
