Les Roses
By Pierre-Joseph Redouté, 1759-1840
Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) published Les Roses in three volumes between 1817 and 1824: 170 stipple engravings, many of roses from the Empress Joséphine’s garden at Malmaison. The colours were applied to the plate ‘à la poupée’ before each printing, a method Redouté refined, and every print was finished by hand.
