Description: About this listing - This listing is for the Curtis Botanical Magazine print and descriptive text pictured. This print measures approximately 6in x 9.25in. Because every monitor displays differently, expect that there will be some variance between what you see on the monitor and how the print will look in your hands. The image of the print posted on this listing are as representative of the actual print as I could make it. Some foxing, toning, and offset may visible, I have noted any of these conditions both in the condition description above and in the condition notes below. The print in this listing is an authentic hand colored antique print, and is around 200 years old. About the work - William Curtis began publication of the Botanical Magazine in February 1787 and continued almost without interruption for 160 years. After Curtis edited the first 13 volumes, the publication continued under the editors: John Simms (1800-1826), William Jackson Hooker (1827-1865) and Joseph Dalton Hooker (1865-1904). The images were engraved and hand-coloured by many artists including Sydenham Edwards, William Graves, James Sowerby, John Curtis, William Jackson Hooker, W.H. Fitch, Matilda Smith, Lillian Snelling and Stella Rose Craig. The plates are known for their fine detail and delicate hand coloring. The prints are all copper engravings to Volume 70 & then stone or zinc lithography until the introduction of color printing in 1948. It is the longest running botanical magazine and was entirely hand colored until 1948. References: Blunt (1994) pp 211 - 217, Great Flower Books pp 156 - 157, Nissen BPI 2350, Staflue 1290. Curtis prints are particularly prized for their lavish, beautifully hand colored illustrations principally by Sydenham Teak Edwards, James Sowerby and William Kilburn.
