The artificiality and Empire elegance that characterizes much of the work of Redoute is replaced in these illustrations by an exuberance of design and color and a grace of form that makes Bessa the last and one of the greatest in a glorious era of French illustrators. The original hand colouring is among the most beautiful we have ever seen. The paper is a creamy white, with a few sheets more toned, mostly in the margins.
