Antique Botanical Engraving of Apple Blossom and Mallow - 1803 Floral Print by Samuel Curtis
This engraving is from "The Botanical Magazine," published by Samuel Curtis on May 31, 1803.
Plate 57 illustrates four botanical figures: Fig. 1 features an Apple Blossom (*Malus domestica*), Fig. 2 shows the intricate details of the flower's stamens, Fig. 3 depicts a Mallow flower (*Malva* species) with its rich, deep red petals, and Fig. 4 focuses on the detailed stamen structure of the Mallow. The illustrations were drawn by Sydenham Edwards and engraved by F. Sansom, known for their precise and beautiful botanical work.
About the Artist:
Sydenham Edwards was an acclaimed botanical illustrator, highly regarded for his precise and detailed botanical drawings, which were essential for scientific publications. Collaborating with Samuel Curtis, Edwards's work helped solidify "The Botanical Magazine" as a leading source of botanical knowledge during its time. F. Sansom's expert engraving brought Edwards's drawings to life, preserving their intricate detail and color.
Description of the Engraving:
The engraving showcases the beauty and complexity of two distinct plants: the delicate, light-pink Apple Blossom and the striking, deep-red Mallow flower. Each figure is meticulously detailed, from the veining on the leaves to the stamen structure. The use of hand coloring enhances the natural appearance of the flowers, highlighting the contrast between the soft pastels of the Apple Blossom and the bold red of the Mallow. This plate captures the diversity and elegance of early 19th-century botanical art.
The engraving is in good condition with minor edge wear and light foxing. The hand-colored illustrations remain vivid, preserving the fine details and natural beauty of the plants. The paper is stable, ensuring the clarity of the botanical depictions is maintained.
