This work is a testament to many of the old roses that used to be found in English gardens, and which some nurseries now feature again. Henry Curtis himself owned two nurseries in Bristol England in the 1800’s. The stock of these establishments provided the specimens for his publication The Beauties of the Rose by Henry Curtis.

Each print is a hand colored lithograph heightened with gum arabic showing a prized specimen of the day in full bloom. The roses are beautiful indeed! The paper is a soft white measuring about 7 3/4 inches by 10 1/4 inches, with very few imperfections of any kind.
