Description
Original copper engraving by William Curtis. Curtis began publication of the Botanical Magazine in February 1787 and continued almost without interruption for 160 years. The plates are known for their fine detail and delicate hand coloring, during a period of time when detailed botanical illustrations were often one of the only ways to record and understand the vast diversity of plant life.
