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; Nissen BBI 2379; Great flower books p. 84; Stafleu & Cowan 1625; Johnston 784.
