About the Item
Title: 1805 Hand-Colored Engraving of Roses from Bertuch’s Work
Description: This exquisite hand-colored engraving is from Friedrich Justin Bertuch’s *Porte-Feuille des Enfants* (Children's Portfolio), published in 1805. The print beautifully depicts two varieties of roses in vibrant detail, capturing their botanical structure and ornamental elegance.
The illustration showcases a single wild rose (Fig. 2) with its open bloom, detailed leaves, and accompanying rose hips, reflecting the simplicity and natural beauty of native rose species. In contrast, the second rose (Fig. 1) is a richly detailed cultivated variety with densely layered petals, emphasizing its ornamental appeal. The intricate leaves, buds, and stems add depth and realism to the composition, making it a perfect example of early botanical artistry.
Bertuch’s work was created as an educational tool to introduce young readers to the beauty and diversity of the natural world. It combines scientific observation with artistic finesse, making it a valuable resource for those interested in botany, antique floral illustrations, or Enlightenment-era educational materials.
Collectors and enthusiasts will appreciate this engraving for its vibrant colors, detailed rendering, and historical significance. It is ideal for framing or as part of a botanical art collection.
Condition: Light foxing and toning along edges; the hand-coloring remains vivid and finely detailed. Top margin a bit short. A print with a rich patina.
