His work combined scientific accuracy with artistic skill, making significant contributions to the popularization and understanding of botany. Curtis's engravings are noted for their attention to detail and vibrant use of color, providing valuable insight into plant species of the time.
Description of the Engraving:

This work is not only a visual delight but also an important scientific record, reflecting the botanical interests and horticultural practices of the late 18th century.
