Description: Four individual engravings Stunning original hand colored steel engravings by John Sowerby. These stunning prints are taken from 'BRITISH WILD FLOWERS' illustrated by John Sowerby, published in 1863 by John Van Voorst, London. John Edward Sowerby (17 January 1825 - 28 January 1870) was a British Botanical illustrator and publisher born in Lambeth, London on 17 January 1825. Part of the Sowerby family, he was eldest son of Charles Edward Sowerby and grandson of Hames Sowerby. John inherited a taste for botanical drawing, and in 1841 produced his first work - the plates for his father's "Illustrated Catalogue of British Plants. His life was thenceforth mainly spent in illustrating botanical works, in collabaration with Charles Johnson(1791 - 1880) and Charles Pierpoint Johnson. These fine, vibrant prints are extremely desirable, superbly decorative and all with original hand coloring and therefore extremely collectable. Size overall 9” x 5.25”
