EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the Three-leaved Chinese Rose, Rosa sinica, also known as Rosa sinica laevigata. The engraving, created by Swan after an original illustration by the renowned botanist William Jackson Hooker, was first published in the esteemed Samuel Curtis Botanical Magazine in London in 1828. The Three-leaved Chinese Rose is a rare and captivating species of rose, native to China and northern Burma. Its unique name derives from its distinctive three-lobed leaves, which are velvety to the touch and a vibrant green in colour. The plant bears clusters of small, delicate pink flowers with a yellow centre, which bloom in late spring. The intricacy and detail of this engraving are truly remarkable. The delicate veining on the leaves and the delicate petals of the flower are beautifully rendered, showcasing the meticulous skill of the engraver. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the image, bringing the Three-leaved Chinese Rose to life. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the importance of botanical illustration in documenting and preserving plant species. William Jackson Hooker was a pioneering figure in the field of botany, and his work with the Samuel Curtis Botanical Magazine helped to advance the scientific understanding of plants and their classification. The Three-leaved Chinese Rose remains a rare and elusive plant today, and this engraving serves as a reminder of its unique beauty and historical significance.
