Sydenham Teast Edwards was a botanical artist who worked for 27 years for Curtis’s
Botanical magazine. In 1815 he started the rival The botanical register;
consisting of coloured figures of exotic plants, cultivated in British gardens;
with their history and mode of treatment. The text for the first 14 years is
by John Bellenden Ker and the volumes 15-33 by John Lindley as Edward’s
botanical register. The principal illustrators were Edwards himself, M. Hart
and Miss Drake and the engravers Sansom, Smith, S. Watts, White and G. Barclay.* Pritzel 2621; Dunthorne 108; Blunt pp. 214-216 (Drake); Nissen BBI 2379; Great flower books p. 84; Stafleu & Cowan 1625; Johnston 784.
