Interior text pages and the 144 Color Plates are flawless. Pierre Joseph Redoute, born in 1759 on the Franco-Belgian border, and before he was thirty his fame was established in Paris and he was highly honored up to the year of his death in 1840. Even as Redoute collaborated with leading naturalists on several books and was rewarded with the title of Dessinateur to the Institut de France, he continued to specialize in roses, lilies, and lilacs. Redoute created this collection of masterpieces in 1833 as the pinnacle of his craft. In this lavish work many of the plates were touched up by hand as he applied every technique and skill he had perfected, bringing art and nature into close harmony. A professional of self-imposed exacting standards, Redoute never abandoned the search for beauty and accuracy as this magnificently produced volume shows so well. Although sales of his works in his lifetime never enabled him to balance his financial problems, connoisseurs of his turbulent times acclaimed him the Raphael of Flowers, the Rembrandt of Roses. Contents: Preface, Bibliography, Index of French Names, Index of Latin Names, and 144 Engraved Color Plates in Facsimile. Large heavy book 1 ½ inches thick that may incur additional charges for Priority Shipping to some locations.
