Rosa Lucida: Shining Rose of 1879
About the Item
The image on offer is a colored chromolithograph of Rosa lucida, commonly known as the shining rose. This illustration would have been featured in Thomas Meehan's 'The Native Flowers and Ferns of the United States', published in 1879.
The Rosa lucida is portrayed with a branch bearing several flowers and buds. The flowers have a delicate pink hue with multiple round petals surrounding prominent yellow stamens, which are typical of the rose family. The leaves are a rich green with toothed margins, and the stems show the characteristic prickles of rose plants. Additionally, the image includes red rose hips, which are the fruit of the rose plant, indicating it was likely captured after the plant's initial bloom period.
The accuracy of the chromolithograph in capturing the botanical details, such as the venation of the leaves and the texture of the stem, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the time, blending scientific detail with aesthetic presentation to produce both an informative and visually appealing image.
