After the death of William Curtis, the magazine was published by his brother, Thomas Curtis. The prints in the first 70 volumes were copper plates colored by hand. Some of the later prints were lithographs. Some of the distingushed artists were Sydenham Edwards, John Curtis, William Jackson Hooker, W.H. Fitch, William Graves and Matilda Smith. These prints have a universal beauty and are a lasting documentary contribution to botanical studies.
Prints are in good condition unless otherwise noted.
All have a pleasant, light age toning. Most prints are dated. Copper etching published by S. Curtis, 1813. Original hand coloring. Page of text included.
