About the Item

Pair of Antique Rose Chromolithographs by Parsons & Willmott, 1914 This striking pair of chromolithographs originates from Ellen Ann Willmott’s monumental work 'The Genus Rosa' (1910–1914), illustrated by Alfred Parsons (1847–1920). As one of the greatest botanical publications of the early 20th century, it stands as the definitive study of wild and cultivated roses, often compared to Redouté’s 'Les Roses' for both scientific importance and artistic excellence. The prints are sold unframed as a set of prints only. Ellen Willmott (1858–1934) was celebrated as one of the most influential gardeners of her age. At her estate, Warley Place in Essex, she assembled an extraordinary collection of roses, supported by nearly ninety gardeners. Her collaboration with Alfred Parsons, a noted painter, illustrator, and garden designer, brought forth a series of plates that combined accuracy with elegance, offering an unrivaled visual record of the genus. The first plate captures a wild rose branch with three blossoms in soft crimson-pink, accompanied by finely serrated leaves and thorned stems, a vivid reminder of the plant’s untamed character. The second plate portrays a more cultivated variety with multiple blooms, from tightly furled buds to a fully opened, richly layered rose. The juxtaposition of wild and cultivated forms highlights the diversity of the genus and demonstrates Parsons’ ability to render both delicacy and vigor in botanical art. Condition report: Both plates retain strong color and sharp detail. Very light toning around the outer margins consistent with age. Paper remains sound, with no tears or repairs noted. Excellent examples overall. Framing tips: This pair is ideally suited to be displayed together in matching frames. Ivory or cream mounts will enhance the freshness of the foliage, while dark wood or gilt frames add classical depth. Double matting with a thin green or soft rose-red line will draw out the tones of the blossoms and create a refined decorative presentation. Technique: Chromolithograph Maker: Alfred Parsons (artist), Ellen Ann Willmott (author), London, 1914
