Hand colored antique botanical copperplate engraving from England, in
excellent condition.
We are pleased to offer this print of the Flesh-Coloured Common Corn-Flag Flower (Gladiolus) from the Curtis Botanical Magazine first published by William
Curtis beginning in 1787. This engraving is Plate #1575, dated 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.
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".
