Les Roses. Paris: Firmin Didot, 1817-1824.
First edition, the rare large paper issue of Redoute's botanical masterpiece. 'The technical execution of its production was ... near perfect’ (Hunt Redoutéana p.25). Les Roses, with its combination of Redouté's plates and Thory's text, remains not only a great artistic achievement, but also a valuable scientific record. Lawalrée describes the text as being 'of outstanding importance to both botanists and horticulturalists'. Its author, Thory, was an ardent botanist with his own collection of roses, who came to live at an estate neighbouring Redouté's soon after 1814. Their celebration of roses describes many forerunners of today's flowers, and includes details of a number of species and cultivars that have since disappeared. The roses used as specimens for the work were taken from the collections of Thory, the Malmaison gardens, and from other collections around Paris. As Ray noted, Redoute's ‘stipple engravings printed in color command the admiration of both natural historians and artists. Working directly from the flowers, Redoute arranged his compositions to show all their significant aspects without the sacrifice of aesthetic value.’ Many of the flowers were novelties in Redouté's day, and a number were dedicated to his friends and acquaintances, such as L'Héritier de Brutelle and Ventenat. According to a leaflet issued after the 23rd part in the copy at the Herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden one hundred large paper copies were projected but it is probable that far fewer were completed.
