Description: Curtis’s Botanical Magazine mostly of these are from 1812. Volume 35 - 36 The Botanical Magazine; or Flower-Garden Displayed, is an illustrated publication started in 1787 by William Curtis. It is widely referred to by the Curtis’s Botanical Magazine, the name given after William Curtis’ death in 1799. The botanical illustrations were created by a number of artists. The first volumes were illustrated by Sydenham Edwards and James Sowerby. After a couple years, James Sowerby went on to publish English Botany. Walter Hood Fitch started creating illustrations in 1826 after the botanical publication had become well known for exotic flowering plants. Fitch is well known for his illustrations of orchids. The first thirty volumes used copper engraving to illustrate the plates which were hand-colored by up to thirty people. Lithography was used later but the prints continued to be hand-colored for much longer than other publications at the time. The magazine has been considered to be the premier journal for early botanical illustration. See photos for actual condition, last photo shows others being sold separately. Will combine shipping. Descriptive page from online accompanies each original engraving.
