Description: Original antique copperplate engraved hand-colored botanical print from Curtis's Botanical Magazine; Flower-Garden Displayed. Botanical illustration by Sydenham Teast Edwards, John Curtis, William Jackson Hooker or Walter Hood Fitch First edition print Size 9 1/4” by 5 1/4” Paper is blank on the back, text pages included whenever possible. Prints of this age show expected signs of age - like darkening around the edges, some staining and light foxing (see photo for actual condition). The colors remain vibrant and the paper stable. The Botanical Magazine; or Flower-Garden Displayed, is an illustrated publication which began in 1787. The longest running botanical magazine, it is widely referred to by the subsequent name Curtis's Botanical Magazine. Each of the issues contains a description, in formal yet accessible language, and is renowned for featuring the work of two centuries of botanical illustrators. Many plants received their first publication on the pages, and the description given was enhanced by the keenly detailed illustrations. Please look at the photos carefully.
