About the Item

Antique Botanical Engraving of Convolvulus - Rare 1797 Floral Print by William Curtis This engraving is from the publication "The Botanical Magazine," specifically from Volume 11, published on January 1, 1797. The publisher and artist of this work is William Curtis, a renowned English botanist and entomologist known for his exquisite botanical illustrations. Curtis founded "The Botanical Magazine" in 1787, a periodical dedicated to the illustration and description of new or rare plants, many of which were newly introduced to Britain from the New World and other far-flung regions. William Curtis (1746–1799) was a significant figure in the field of botany during the 18th century. He started his career as an apothecary and quickly shifted to focus on the study of British flora. Curtis is best known for "The Botanical Magazine," which became one of the longest-running botanical publications, celebrated for its beautiful hand-colored engravings and scientific accuracy. His work bridged the gap between scientific study and popular interest in plants and horticulture. Description of the Engraving: The engraving features a detailed and accurate representation of the Convolvulus plant, showcasing both its delicate pink flowers and distinctive leaves. The artwork is finely hand-colored, demonstrating the attention to detail and artistic skill typical of Curtis’s work. This piece is special not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its historical significance as part of a pioneering effort to catalog and share botanical knowledge through print media. The engraving is in good condition with some signs of age, including minor discoloration and slight creasing at the edges. The colors remain vibrant, and the paper is intact, showcasing the detailed botanical illustration effectively.
