April 1975, Belgium's Queen Fabiola visits the previous offices of De Schutter in the 'Venusstraat' Antwerp for a royal approval of the publication. De Schutter published a very prestigious fascimile (reproduction) of the books of P.J. Redouté about roses.

One of the two founders of the company, Carl De Schutter shows the companies work with pride.

 

Pierre-Joseph Redouté was a French artist of the late 18th and early 19th century. For the images in his famous book of prints, Les Roses, Redouté mastered the unusual technique of stipple engraving--the use of tiny dots, rather than lines. This made possible the subtle variations in coloring for which his work is known.
