About the Item
"Elegance in Bloom: The Roses of 'Favourite Flowers'"
"Elegance in Bloom," a captivating collection of three original antique rose prints from Edward Step's esteemed "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published in 1896.
The chromolithographic technique used in these prints was the zenith of color printing methods in the late 19th century, celebrated for its ability to produce clear and vivid color illustrations.
1. **Bourbon Rose - 'Souvenir de la Malmaison':** This print captures the lush, full petals and soft, creamy hues that have made the Bourbon Rose a symbol of romantic beauty.
2. **Hybrid Tea Rose - 'La France':** Revel in the subtle interplay of pink and cream in 'La France,' a rose that epitomizes the delicate artistry of hybridization.
3. **Tea Rose - 'Safrano':** Admire the warm, apricot tones of the 'Safrano,' a rose renowned for its fragrance and graceful form.
These lithographs represent not only the pinnacle of botanical art but also the advancements in scientific study of roses during Edward Step's time. Each print is a faithful representation at the natural size, ensuring that the original detail and scale are preserved.
Ideal for collectors, historians, and those who appreciate the intersection of art and nature, "Elegance in Bloom" offers an opportunity to own a piece of horticultural heritage. Whether displayed as a series or individually, these prints bring the enchantment of Victorian gardens into the modern-day home.

- Hand-Colored Engraving of the Ceiling of the Church of Santa Costanza in FrameLocated in Pembroke, MAA large, nicely-framed Italian hand-colored engraving in tones of terracotta and black (17th century, with more recent matte and frame) by Pietro Bartoli. The engraving depicts the mosaic ceiling in the church of Santa Costanza outside of Rome, which was studied by the ecclesiatical archaeologist Giovanni Ciampini. The mosaic ceiling no longer exists, but is known through various depictions of the artwork, such as this engraving. The images include Christian imagery including the sacrifice of Cain and Abel and possibly Noah building the ark. The upper row of mosaics is believed to represent scenes from the New Testament, with caryatids dividing the ceiling into twelve segments. The engraving is captioned in Latin: "Opus Musiuum olim in tholo Templi, quod vulgo creditur Bacchi, nunc Sancte Constantie extra Portam Piam cariatides, et Telamones in duodecium dividant Segmenta, ubi plura autumnales ferias, et piscationis Genium demostrant, iuxta interpretionem Ciampini qui mediatatem exhibet Veterum monum." In the 17th century, the church of Santa Costanza was known as the "Temple of Bacchus," and was the site of rowdy Bacchic festivals until Pope Clement XI banned the rites in 1720.
