Taschen's 25th Anniversary special edition. STUNNING REPRODUCTION of one of Pierre-Joseph Redouté's most celebrated works: Les Roses, originally published between 1817 and 1824.

Pierre-Joseph Redouté (10 July 1759 – 19 June 1840), was a painter and botanist from Belgium, known for his watercolours of roses, lilies and other flowers at Malmaison, many of which were published as large, color stipple engravings. He was nicknamed "the Raphael of flowers" and has been called the greatest botanical illustrator of all time.
