EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of Lily (Lilium candidum) and Red Everlasting (Helichrysum sanguineum), as depicted in the illustration by the renowned French flower painter, Pancrace Bessa. The image is taken from Charles Malos's "Guirlande de Flore," or "Garland of Flowers," published in Paris in 1816 by Chez Janet. Bessa's masterful use of stipple art technique adds depth and texture to the delicate petals of the lily and the intricate details of the red everlasting. The calligraphic title, "Lily and Red Everlasting," adorns the top of the page, adding an elegant touch to this floral masterpiece. The illustration features the lily at the center, its pristine white petals unfurling gracefully around a golden stamen. Surrounding the lily is a wreath of roses and tulips, their vibrant colors contrasting beautifully with the lily's purity. At the bottom right corner, the red everlasting blooms, its velvety petals a rich, deep hue, adding a pop of color to the composition. This stunning botanical illustration is a testament to the artistry and skill of Pancrace Bessa, one of the greatest French flower painters of the 19th century. It is a true masterpiece that transports us to a time when the beauty of nature was celebrated through intricate and detailed illustrations.
