Collection: Curtis Botanicalsl

Antique Prints from
William Curtis' Botanical Magazine

William Curtis (1746-1799) originally trained as an apothocary, but eventually his lifelong greater interest in the study of plants won out. Curtis opened his own botanical garden in London in the 1770s and began publishing the
Curtis Botanical Magazine in 1787.

An excellent article about William Curtis and the Botanical Magazine can be found on the website of Glasgow University.

 

These plates date to the 1820s, and are exquisitely handcolored, as were all plates for the Botanical Magazine up until the 1940s.
