Botanical Pierre-Joseph Redouté & Bessa.
The colour plates,
the majority of them by Redoute, and many after Bessa were
new for this edition. Pierre-Joseph Redoute
(1759-1840), was born in the Belgian Ardennes
- son, grandson, great-grandson and brother of
artists. His teacher was Heritier de Brutelle, one of the
outstanding naturalists of his day. Gerard van Spaendonck,
'Flower Painter to the King', taught Redoute the
technique of painting in watercolor on vellum. This
was the master ages for French stipple-engraved
colour printing, achieved by Redouté and Bessa. To do this
29 engravers were employed to engrave the nearly 306
plates after watercolour by Redoute and the other ones
after watercolour by Bessa. . Redouté is credited
with perfecting in this work his stipple engraving
technique and applying it to rendering his own and Bessa's
original watercolor in order to achieve the exquisite
softness and luminosity and three-dimensionality of the
subjects. In describing this technique Redouté said, "The
process which we invented in 1796 for colour printing
consists in the employment of these colours on a single
plate by a method of our own. We have thereby softness and
brilliance of a watercolour, as can be seen in our works."
The printing process, applied by Langloi, the great master
of colour printing who supervised much of Redouté's work,
gives to the illistrations their superb feel.Stipple
engraving is particularly suited to showing
botanical detail. It is essentially a technique of
engraving a copper plate with a dense grid of dots which
can be modulated to convey delicate gradations of color.
Because the ink lies on the paper in miniscule dots, it
does not obscure the "light" of the white paper beneath
the color. After this complicated printing process was
complete, the prints were then finished by hand in
watercolour. Very few copies of this rare work w ere ever
broken and this is not a full set as then worth rebinding

Wachendorfia Thyrsiflora (Thyrsus or Lilac Wachendorfia),
Stipple engraving, printed in colour and finished by hand from Redoute 'Les Liliacées '. Published in Paris: Imprimerie de Didot jeune, 1802-16. , engraved by Philipeau. Sheet size: 20 5/8 x 13 1/2 inches. Les Liliacées was Redouté's largest and most ambitious work and is generally considered his masterpiece, arguably rivaled only by Les Roses. Produced under the patronage of the Empress Josephine, for whom Redouté worked as botanical artist at her estate at Malmaison, Les Liliacées records the plants of the lily family and related flowers (including representatives of the amaryllis, iris, and orchid families) ***These are a block of 6 in gilt frames as shown above and have a few flaws but all minor. Some time in their past they have had spots of water damage which when lit by flash show up as beige marks. When on the wall they do not detract from the pic but if wanted to be removed my restorer quoted £20 for the worst as a quick minor job***

Wachendorfia Thyrsiflora (Thyrsus or Lilac Wachendorfia),
Stipple engraving, printed in colour and finished by hand from Redoute 'Les Liliacées '. Published in Paris: Imprimerie de Didot jeune, 1802-16. , engraved by Philipeau. Sheet size: 20 5/8 x 13 1/2 inches. Les Liliacées was Redouté's largest and most ambitious work and is generally considered his masterpiece, arguably rivaled only by Les Roses. Produced under the patronage of the Empress Josephine, for whom Redouté worked as botanical artist at her estate at Malmaison, Les Liliacées records the plants of the lily family and related flowers (including representatives of the amaryllis, iris, and orchid families) ***These are a block of 6 in gilt frames as shown above and have a few flaws but all minor. Some time in their past they have had spots of water damage which when lit by flash show up as beige marks. When on the wall they do not detract from the pic but if wanted to be removed my restorer quoted £20 for the worst as a quick minor job***
