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. www.meemelink.com · index · Begoniaceae |
