Redoute Red Camellia Botanical Print Large Vertical Postage Stamp
Pierre-Joseph Redouté Camellia japonica 1827
One of my series of postage stamps which coordinate with the other items in my Redouté Red Camellia Collection.
I adore this particular print: lovely, simple, elegant, charming -- everything but the marvelous Camellia scent. Produced by "the Raphael of flowers" Pierre-Joseph Redouté for his sumptuous book of engravings Choix des plus belles Fleurs.
I love the graceful lines, the vibrant greens of the sun-dappled leaves and the rich red of the flower itself. Truly, it's an exquisite bloom. (Well, that's no wonder: the specimen he painted belonged to a French princess!)
Matching note cards, Christmas cards, stickers, postage stamps and more are available in my gallery's Antique Botanical Prints Collection.
