The complete series of 167 rose paintings by the eighteenth-century painter of flowers is accompanied by a description of the roses' characteristics and habitat. With Pierre-Joseph Redouté was one of the most talented botanical artists ever known. He is also possibly the most popular botanical artist in history. Many people first become interested in botanical art after seeing reproductions of his paintings of roses, lilies and other flowers. He was born in 1759 in what is now Belgium and died in June 1840. Redouté was fortunate to become an artist who was patronized by the kings of France from Louis XVI to Louis-Philippe. His profile also has a unique claim to fame. His status and reputation was enhanced in no small way due to his patronage by two of the premier first ladies of European history - Marie Antoinette and Josephine Bonaparte.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First. THE RARE LARGE-PAPER ISSUE, WITH THE ADDITIONAL SUITE OF PLATES IN BLACK ON OCHRE PAPER. Three volumes. Paris: Firmin Didot, 181718211824. First edition (bound from parts). Folio (21" x 14 1/8", 532mm x 358mm). With 342 engraved botanical plates (i.e., 171 in two states: black on ochre paper and stipple-engraved à la poupée with additional hand color): a garland, a portrait of Redouté (both black as issued) and 169 botanical illustrations. Bound in contemporary quarter green straight-grained morocco over green and red marbled boards by Tessier (his ticket to the front paste-down of vol. I). On the spine, five panels. Author and title gilt to the second panel, number gilt to the fourth. Head- and tail-pieces bumped, split and with losses. Repaired tears to the spine of vol. I. A little rubbed generally, more so at the edges, with wear at the fore-corners. Foxing to the first and last handful of leaves (at times moderate), with mild foxing throughout. The (colored) plates are unusually fresh. Lacking the instructions to the binder in vol. III (322). Lacking tissue guards to pl. 41 of vol. I (Rosa bifera officinalis), pl. 33 of vol. II (Rosa pumila)and pl. 54 of vol. III (Rosa Pomponia Burgundica) (modern acid-free tissue supplied). A 40mm closed tear to 52 of vol. III (pp. 19-20), not affecting the text. "1587" (an inventory number?) in ink in an old hand to the front paste-down of each volume. Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) -- the "Raphael of flowers" -- floated above the political changes in France. He went from the patronage of Marie Antoinette -- made desinatteur du Cabinet de la Reine in 1788 -- to the dedication in the first volume (marked "year 10" of the revolutionary calendar) to "Citoyen Chaptal," back to the patronage of the Empress Josephine and on through the Restoration; doubtless had he lived into the Second Republic he would have found great favor. He haunted the gardens first of the Petit Trianon and then superintended those at the chateau of Malmaison in Rueil (just south of Paris), which Josephine (whose given name was Marie-Josèphe-Rose) had bought. Provided with the raw materials by these women, Redouté set about illustrating. The Roses follows the success of his Liliacées (completed 1816), during which he and his collaborators mastered the art of stipple-engraving à la poupée: copperplate-printing in which the individual colors are applied directly to the plate using a small cloth bundle (a poupée is a rag-doll) -- and then finished, as usual, by hand. (At its best, there is no better way for an artist to ensure the accurate dissemination of his work.). The gardens at Malmaison contained hundreds of species and cultivars of roses, an anomaly in a period in which more exotic plants held a greater fascination. The text of Claude-Antoine Flory (1757-1827), himself a collector of roses, is considered a significant scientific contribution. Though Stafleu in his essay in the Catalogue of Redoutéana concedes that the principal enticement of Redouté's work is aesthetic, he reminds us that the work's "importance as a record of botanical knowledge of the genus Rosa should nevertheless not be underestimated" (op. cit., 26). Redouté published the work in 30 fascicles (livraisons) from 22 March 1817 through 6 March 1824, with six plates per fascicle (excepting the tenth with none and the thirtieth with one). Stafleu-Cowan counts fifteen examples of this large-paper issue -- with the additional hand-coloring carried out by Redouté himself -- with the plates in two states. Tessier was a binder-finisher established in the XVIIc. He was the exclusive binder to Ferdinand Philippe, the duc d'Orleans -- who would have succeeded Louis Philippe had he not predeceased him (and the July Monarchy fallen apart). Estelle Doheny's set was also bound by Tessier. Dunthorne 232; Hunt, Redoutéana 19; Nissen, BBI 1599; Pritzel 7455; Ray, French 89; Sitwell, Fine Flower Books, p. 71; Stafleu-Cowan 8748.

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).

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 2 volume set w/ 169 plates Gakken 1988 14 3/4" x 11" Text in Japanese Pierre-Joseph Redouté's Roses are perhaps his most celebrated images, which the artist issued while under the patronage of the Empress Josephine, wife of Napoleon. The present selection comprises the three images that are often considered the most magnificent roses that Redouté ever painted and engraved. Certain common themes run through them. In each, the flowers are classical "portraits" which lack backgrounds or settings. The regal simplicity of the compositions allows the viewer to focus without distraction on the beauty and delicate complexity of the plants themselves. Perhaps better than any other engravings that the artist ever made, these three images demonstrate the flawless and pristine French style of botanical art that Redouté pioneered and brought to a pinnacle of quality. Redouté (1759-1840) is unquestionably the best-known botanical illustrator of any era. The decorative appeal of his original engravings has led to their modern reproduction, which in turn has popularized Redouté's work in a way unique among botanical artists. Yet no reproduction can capture the great and subtle beauty of his original engravings from Les Roses, nor can any introductory paragraph fully describe his many achievements. These magnificent engravings demonstrate the full mastery of his abilities, as the forms of the roses are set off dramatically by Redouté's masterful and rich modulations of tone and hue. Born into a family of artists in what is now Belgium, Redouté's talent was recognized and encouraged from an early age. Eventually. Redouté had. as pupils or patrons, five queens and empresses of France, from Marie-Antoinette to the Empress Josephine and her successor, Marie-Louise. Despite many changes of regime in a turbulent epoch, he worked without interruption, eventually contributing to over fifty works on natural history and archeology. The luminosity of stipple engraving, a technique perfected by Redouté, is particularly suited to the reproduction of botanical detail. The medium involved engraving a copper plate with a dense grid of dots that could be modulated to convey delicate gradations of color. Because the ink rested on the paper in miniscule dots, it did not obscure the "light" of the paper beneath the color. After this complicated printing process was complete, the prints were finished by hand in watercolor, so as to conform to the exquisite models Redouté provided.
