The Roses: The Complete Plates By Redoute'

It is a large sized hard back book and contains The Roses: The Complete Plates by Pierre - Joseph Redoute'. The illustrations are wonderful and clearly labeled. I gave my copy as a gift to my aunt and I have ordered a copy for my self. It is well priced and the illustrations are simply lovely, with vibrant colours.

beautiful!

It is really amazing that this book is so inexpensive. When I got it it seemed like it would easily cost 40 dollars. There is about 20 pages of introduction and then about 180 pages of plates, all of them in color and completely framable. They are large, too. I haven't measured yet but they look like they'll need 11x14 frames. They are really going to look great. And the intro has some interesting info, about the artist and about roses.

STUNNING!

THIS BOOK IS STUNNING!! WHEN I RECEIVED THE FIRST BOOK I IMMEDIATELY ORDERED A 2ND ONE. THE PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL FOR FRAMING. I LOVE REDOUTE'S WORK. THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS EXQUISITE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE WHO LOVES ROSES, ESPECIALLY BOTANICAL PRINTS. I FRAMED SOME OF THE PRINTS AND THEY LOOK REALLY EXPENSIVE. ALL WHO SEE THEM THINK I SPENT A FORTUNE.
