Hand colored antique botanical copperplate engraving from England, in very good condition. We are pleased to offer this print of the Storax-Leaved Podalyria (Podalyria Styracifolia) from the Curtis Botanical Magazine first published by William Curtis beginning in 1787. This engraving is Plate #1580, dated September 1, 1813, drawn by S. Edwards and engraved by F. Sansom. Mr. Curtis was a trained pharmacist living in London, whose greater interest was the study of flora and insects. He maintained a large garden where he grew beautiful exotic plants. Highly collectible, and increasingly hard-to-find in this condition; this botanical engraving still has the original vivid coloration. Guaranteed authentic 188 year-old engraving on rag paper. There is a small, one inch wrinkle in the paper of this print that does not detract from the beauty and color of this flower (at the bottom through the "Sept" date). Click on print to see detailed image. The original text page will accompany this engraving. Antique engravings are a unique gift idea and make a fine complement to any home or office. Print size is 5 1/2" x 9". |
