°°° [Ultimate POST-SUMMERSALE: PRICE-REDUCTION of 50% until Monday, October 05, 2026; previously EUR 4.800,-] --- CHARMING COLLECTION OF REDOUTÉ'S LINE-DRAWINGS FOR THE SECOND EDITION OF HIS OPUS MAGNUM 'LES ROSES', CONTAINING 18 (of 168?) SHEETS APPARENTLY EXECUTED BY THE MASTER HIMSELF: 18 sheets of paper of the period, sizes from ca. 24 x 19 cm to ca. 31 x 22 cm; the drawings within pencil-frames of ca. 18 x 13/14 cm, slightly varying (16 of them signed 'P. J. Redouté' in the lower left corner of the frame*** [**) 3 sheets with watermark 'J. Whatman / Turkey Mill / 1823, resp. 1824 and 1825']; loose in an olive-grey carboard-folder of the period with ink-title at frontpanel (as quoted above) and another similar title in pencil at inner rear-panel (perhaps by Redouté himself): ''Dessin / des Roses / 168 Dessin au Trait / Collection des Dessins originaux / de L'ouvrage des Roses pour l'Edition en-4°- / 168 Dessins au Trait''; Folio (ca. 32,5 x 24,5 cm): [I.*] 'Rosa indica'(49); 'Rosa rubiginosa'(93); 'Rosa cinnamomea'(105). / [II.*] 'Rosa rapa'(7); 'Rosa rubiginosa'(23); 'Rosa indica'(35); 'Rosa multiflora'(69); 'Rosa indica subalba'(79); 'Rosa pimpinellifolia major'(103); 'Rosa rosenbergiana'(113); 'Rosa hudsoniana'(117). / [III.*] 'Rosa stylosa'(31); 'Rosa gallica'(55); 'Rosa collina monsoniana'(67); 'Rosa canina grandiflora'(75); 'Rosa hispida'(81); 'Rosa rubiginosa vaillantiana'(95); 'Rosa pomponiana'(107); +1 unidentified rose. [Order according to the Folio-Edition*]. - *) As we had no access yet to an Octavo-set (it was printed from 1824-1826) the roses/plates have been identified according to the digitalized Library-of-Congress-copy of the first Edition, 1817-1824. **) 2 of the 3 watermarked sheets carry the additional imprint 'Turkey Mill'; ***) one of them only shows the upper half of the year which looks like 1824, although the upper part of the '4' looks very similar to the upper part of '1', yet the stroke from top-right downwards to the left is longer and not complete (as in '1') and therefore probably of a '4'. ****) Unsigned are the sheet/rose which we could not identify acc. to L.o.C.-copy and 'Rosa gallica (55)' as stated above. --- Very few sheets slightly-but-shallow spotty, mainly in the outer margin, few sheets - mainly the larger ones slightly to somewhat frayed at lower or right edge. OVERALL AN IMPRESSIVE AND CERTAINLY UNIQUE SET.…
