"C'est la plus complète des éditions in-8. Elle est ornée de 2 portraits et de 181 planches dont 21 paraissent pour la première fois. Elle contient une nouvelle classification méthodique des roses par C.E. Thory". Issu d'une famille d'artistes Pierre-Joseph Redouté dut à un voyage en Hollande de connaître les productions de l'excellent peintre de fleurs Van Huysum. Laissant libre cours à son inclination naturelle Redouté exécuta de petites aquarelles "qui manifestaient une science anatomique de la fleur et de la plante inconnue jusqu'à lui en même temps qu'une richesse d'effets, une fraîcheur de coloris qui laissaient bien loin tous les modèles". Redouté devint le professeur particulier de la reine Marie-Antoinette. A chacune des leçons royales, les plus belles fleurs des serres de Versailles étaient disposées dans des vases du Japon et de Sèvres avant d'être merveilleusement aquarellées sous les yeux de la Reine par le peintre. Professeur de Joséphine puis de Marie-Louis, il enseigna aussi son art à la duchesse de Berry, à la reine Marie-Amélie et à Madame Adélaïde. En 1822, louis XVIII nomma Redouté "professeur d'iconographie végétale au Jardin du Roi". En 182 merveilleuses planches au trait à la fois précis et aérien /// Paris, P.

Blue half-calf, flat spines decorated lengthwise with gilt rocaille tools, mottled edges. Contemporary binding. --- Enlarged edition of Redoute's Roses, a sought-after one since it is the most complete. This is one of the main works by the famous Redouté, nicknamed the "Raphael of flowers", by his contemporaries. Nissen 1599. Great Flower books, 71. Stafleu, 1044. It is illustrated with 182 full-page plates (220 mm height), drawn by P.J. Redouté, printed in colors and contemporary enhanced with watercolor "underhis eyes". Born in an artistic family, Pierre-Joseph Redouté discovered Van Huysum's excellent flowers productions thanks to a travel in Holland. "It is the most complete of the 8vo editions. It is illustrated with 2 portraits and 181 plates including 21 appearing for the first time. It encloses a new methodic classification of the roses by C.E. Thory". Giving free rein to his natural inclination, Redouté executed small watercolors "that showed an anatomical science of the flower and of the plant unknown until him, as well as a richness of effects, a brightness of colors that left all the models far behind". Redouté became Queen Marie Antoinette's private professor. At each of the royal lessons, the most beautiful flowers in Versailles' greenhouses were displayed in vases from Japan and Sèvres before being marvelously watercolored uner the eyes of the Queen by the painter. Teacher of Joséphine and then of Marie-Louis, he also taught his art to the duchess de Berry, to Queen Marie Amélie and to Madame Adélaïde. In 1822, Louis XVIII named Redouté "professor of vegetal iconography to the King's Garden". Through the 182 marvelous plates, with a line both precise and light, are revived all these species of ancient rosebushes that enchanted Versailles or Bagatelle's rose gardens. Rosa centifolia, gallica,

3 volumes, octavo. (9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches). Half-titles. 2 lithographic portraits of Redouté and Thory by C.Motte after Mauraisse, hand-coloured engraved floral wreath by Manceau after Redouté, 183 stipple-engraved plates printed in colours and finished by hand by Chardin, Langlois, Lemaire and others after Redouté (including 3 plates illustrating the anatomy of the rose). Contemporary French blue half morocco gilt, the flat spine in five compartments delineated by horizontal rules, titled in the second, numbered in the fourth, green silk page-markers, marbled endpapers. A very fine set of Redouté's best known work. The "most complete edition" (Madol) to be published during his lifetime, this is a re-issue of the second octavo edition, with the addition of St. Petersburg to the imprint, and containing the 23 additional plates, the portraits and the frontispiece floral wreath, the biographical note on Thory and additional text. Pierre-Joseph Redouté, the most successful flower painter of all time, together with Claude-Antoine Thory, an ardent botanist and collector of roses, have together in Les Roses produced a work not only of great artistic merit, but also an invaluable scientific record. "Redouté and Thory knew, described and figured almost all the important roses known in their day. Included were many of the key ancestors of our present-day roses. The plates in Les Roses have artistic value, botanical and documentary value, both for the species and cultivars still surviving and for those that have disappeared" (Gisele de la Roche). The roses used as specimens for the work were taken from the collections of Thory, the Malmaison gardens, and from other collections around Paris. Many of the flowers were novelties in Redouté's time, and a number were dedicated to the memory of his friends and acquaintances, such as l'Héritier de Brutelle and Ventenat. The success of the folio edition prompted the issue of a second (first octavo) edition in 40 parts between 1824 and 1826 with 160 plates and an expanded text. New information and new varieties led to the issue of a third edition (second octavo) edition, published in 30 parts between 1828 and 1829. The popularity of the first issue of this edition warranted the publication of the present second issue (with reset and reprinted title pages). In both issues the text was expanded yet again to contain not only more information about the culture of the rose but also by the addition of a biography of Thory by D.Beaumont, the inclusion of Thory's Traité du Rosier and the descriptive text to the 23 additional plates. In addition a floral wreath plate was added as a frontispiece to volume I and the portraits of Redouté and Thory were included for the first time. The plates are masterpieces in miniature of the engraver's art and lose none of the impact of their larger precursors in the process of reducing them from the folio to octavo format. Redouté as presiding genius is plainly discernable. Dunthorne 233; Lawalrée 39; Madol 42; Macphail Redoutéana 22; cf. Nissen BBI 1599; Stafleu & Cowan TL2 8751; Stock Rose Books 2371.

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. First. First octavo edition. Paris: C. L. F. Panckoucke, 1824[-1826] Octavo (9 1/8" x 6", 232mm x 153mm). With 160 plates stipple-engraved à la poupée and finished by hand. Bound in contemporary red sheep with a gilt rose roll border. On the spine, 4 raised bands. Title gilt to second panel. Dashed gilt roll to the head- and tail-pieces. Gilt bead-and-reel roll to the edges of the boards. Gilt floral leaf roll to the inside dentelle. End-papers tiger-marbled. All edges of the text block marbled. Boards lightly scuffed. Abrasion to the lower spine-edge of the rear turn-in. Light staining throughout. Darker foxing along the top edges of c1 and c2 of the 33rd part (text to Rosa pomponiana flore subsimplici). A lovely copy. Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) -- the "Raphael of flowers" -- found such success with the publication of Les roses (1817-1824) in folio, that he moved to publish a smaller octavo version with C. L. F. Panckoucke immediately following. It was published in forty parts of four plates, and Redouté is said to have overseen the hand-color finishing of the plates. Each plate is accompanied by a description by Claude-Antoine Thory (1757-1827), an eminent botanist and collector of roses. Les roses is Redouté's second work and is considered his finest. The owner of this binding was clearly passionate about roses, both because the plates are organized by species rather than livraison-order, and because the binding is lush with rose motifs. The color of the binding is no doubt an homage to red roses, as are the second and second-to-last end papers as they are dyed pink (rose in French).

Gravure originale, rehaussée à l'aquarelle, extraite du premier volume des Liliacées en édition originale, sous serpente, accompagnée de son feuillet de texte comprenant une explication de la planche ainsi que la description et l'histoire de la fleur. « Raphaël des fleurs », « Peintre des Reines », artisan de la « rosemanie » du début du XIXe siècle, génie de l?iconographie botanique : le talent exceptionnel de Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) lui a valu une ascension fulgurante, une carrière prestigieuse sous différents régimes (de la fin du règne de Louis XVI à la Monarchie de Juillet), au service des plus grandes institutions (Versailles et Trianon, Malmaison, Muséum d?Histoire naturelle) et à la tête de son propre atelier parisien, ainsi qu?une pérennité incontestable. C?est bien sur les Liliacées, ouvrage de 486 planches réalisées selon la technique et la gravure au pointillé et peintes à l?aquarelle, publié en 80 livraisons de 1802 à 1816, que s?est bâtie sa réputation. La rigueur de la représentation, la finesse du trait, la justesse du dessin et l?harmonie de la composition (souvent en format grandeur nature) de ces fleurs -auxquels s?ajoutent Amaryllidacées, Iridacées et Orchidées - enchantèrent tant Joséphine que Napoléon 1er. Les Liliacées posent donc les fondements scientifiques et artistiques de l??uvre immense de Redouté, comme illustrateur et éditeur (une cinquantaine d?ouvrages, dont Les Roses), mais également comme professeur, graveur, collaborateur de savants et lettrés (Lamarck, Rousseau), décorateur (pour porcelaines, textiles ou papiers peints), botaniste, jardinier? Un héritier des Lumières à l?envergure internationale.

Print. Matted to 6 by 8 inches. Stipple engraving. highlighted with handcoloring. The short-styled field rose is native to the British Isles. *** This original engraving is from the octavo edition of Redoute's classic work, Les roses. Les roses, based on the flowers in Malmaison, the estate of Josephine Bonaparte, Napoleon's first wife, first appeared in a large folio edition, mostly purchased by royalty and the superrich. The smaller octavo edition, from which this print comes, was published between 1818 and 1822. A tiny bit of foxing to the paper, else a bright copy of this 200-year-old print.
