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. |
