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. |

Alliaceae - Allium ampeloprasum From: English botany; or, coloured figures of British plants by James Edward Smith. London, C.E. Sowerby, 1836, 2. edition, volume 3, plate 473. Hand-coloured engraving by James Sowerby (sheet 128 x 218 mm). Slight foxing. Text enclosed in photocopy. € 30
"One of the most celebrated of all British floras is Sowerby’s
English botany. This periodical publication, issued in 267 numbers, and
published in thirty-six volumes between 1790 and 1814, contains 2,592
beautifully coloured illustrations of plants most of which are drawn and
engraved by James Sowerby. The plates are accompanied by descriptive letterpress
written by the eminent botanist James Edward Smith, …" (Henrey II p. 141). The
plates of the second or small edition of 12 volumes are mostly restrikes of the
plates of the first edition, arranged in sytematic order and including
supplementary plates. Most of the plates thus bear a double enumeration and are
often not so fully coloured as those of the first edition. James Sowerby was the
first of several members of this family who became noted as authors and
illustrators of books on natural history.* Nissen BBI 2225; Great flower books p. 76; Henrey 1369; Stafleu & Cowan 12.221. |

Alliaceae -
Allium caeruleum From: Flore des serres et des jardins de l’Europe by Charles Lemaire and others. Gand [Gent], Louis van Houtte, 1847, volume 3, plate 300. Hand-coloured lithograph (sheet 160 x 235 mm). Text enclosed.
€ 55
The founder, publisher and
part-editor of this lavish Belgian periodical was Louis van Houtte, the
propietor of the largest nursery of its time on the continent. It appeared
monthly for almost 40 years and was published by his own printing office
in the middle of the gardens, the Horto van Houtteano. All the plants
shown were for sale in his nursery and include many exotics. The work is
notable for the craftmanship of the Belgian lithographers Severeyns,
Stroobant and De Pannemaker, who had mastered the art of colour-printing
from stone.
