Elegant Roses in Bloom: Hand-Colored 19th-Century Botanical Engraving from Bertuch’s Bilderbuch für Kinder
This beautifully detailed 19th-century engraving showcases two varieties of roses (Rosa species) in full bloom, meticulously rendered with hand-applied coloring. The engraving captures the delicate textures of the petals, the vibrant greens of the foliage, and the intricate structure of each stem, conveying the timeless beauty of these iconic flowers.
Figures include:
1. Figure 1: A deep red rose with densely packed petals, accompanied by buds and lush foliage, symbolizing love and passion.
2. Figure 2: A soft pink rose in various stages of bloom, from an elegant open flower to a budding blossom, emphasizing the natural lifecycle of the plant.
Published as part of Friedrich Johann Bertuch’s *Bilderbuch für Kinder* (Picture Book for Children), this engraving reflects the Enlightenment-era fascination with nature and education. Bertuch’s renowned encyclopedia, issued between 1790 and 1830, combined scientific knowledge with artistic brilliance, offering over 1,200 engraved plates covering topics from botany to mythology.
Condition: The engraving is in good condition with some foxing and minimal edge discoloration, characteristic of its age. The hand-coloring is vibrant and well-preserved, enhancing the naturalistic depiction of the roses.
Advice on presentation:
1. Frame this engraving in a simple wooden or gilded frame to complement its botanical elegance. Use an acid-free mat in soft cream or pale green to enhance its natural tones and protect the artwork.
2. Display as a standalone piece in a living room, bedroom, or conservatory, or pair it with other botanical engravings for a cohesive collection.
3. Include a descriptive label or plaque to highlight its connection to Bertuch’s *Bilderbuch für Kinder* and its historical significance.
4. For archival purposes, store the engraving in a high-quality portfolio to ensure its preservation while allowing for close study.
This engraving is a perfect addition to collections of botanical art, a thoughtful gift for garden enthusiasts, or an elegant decorative piece for a nature-inspired interior.
