Scope & content
Black and white title page from the book 'Roses or a monograph of the genus Rosa' by Henry Charles Andrews. The book plate bears the imprint 'Hail, lovely ROSE, of flowers the blushing queen!/ Burst, burst, ye numerous Nondescripts, with spleen!/ Ye wondrous Nothings, from a foreign soil/ Brought with such labour, care, and anxious toil,-/ Say, can your utmost charms, combin'd, disclose/ Beauty and fragrance equal to the ROSE?'
