Curtis' Botanical Magazine

These hand-colored engravings are cut from what is perhaps the best known of the botanical journals: The Botanical Magazine , or, Flower-Garden Displayed, in which the Most Ornamental Foreign Plants , Cultivated in the Open Ground, the Greenhouse , and the Stove, are Accurately Represented in the Natural Colours, etc., edited by William Curtis from 1787 to 1799 and then by Thomas Curtis, brother of William. Samuel Curtis , brother-in-law to William, was the proprietor from 1801 to 1845 . The plates were worked on by many of the most prominent botanical artists of the day, here including the work of John Curtis, Sydenham Edwards, James Sowerby, William Hooker, W. H. Fitch, and others.
"The reputation of the Magazine has always resided in the accuracy of its portrayal of plants . . . This pictorial record of garden and greenhouse plants from the temperate and tropical regions of the world has no rival." --Desmond.

Most plates on this page are by William Jackson Hooker and date from 1829 . These plates are printed on good paper and are in excellent condition.
