The first publication related to Redouté and Thory's magnificent "Roses" project (of which it is a sample), this is a critical catalogue of every known type of rose. Printed on fine laid paper with the plates on fine, thick wove paper. 12mo. Beautilly bound in full calf by René Simier (signed). Spine and covers elegantly gilt. All edges gilt. Tiny traces of wear to binding, and title-page a bit foxed, else FINE AND BRIGHT, inside and out. Overall an outstanding copy of a very rare and important book.
