Hand colored antique botanical copperplate engraving from England in
very good condition.
We are pleased to offer this print of the Purple Bindweed (Morning Glory) from the Curtis Botanical Magazine first published by William
Curtis beginning in 1787. This early engraving is Plate #113 dated March 1, 1790. 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 212 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".
