Edwards Botanical Monastery Bells by Miss Drake5 1/2 by 9 1/4 inchesEDD3 $45 Sydenham Edwards was the son of a Welsh schoolmaster who attracted the attention of Curtis. He came to London to train with Curtis, and for 27 years most of the drawings in Curtis’ Botanical Magazine were his. As a result of a misunderstanding in 1815, he severed his connection with the publication and started the rival Botanical Register.Ref: William Blunt (1950) pp 192 – 193 ; Great Flower Books (1990) pp 157. We are currently offering a selection of prints published from 1815-1839. These are beautifully executed hand colored plates on fine paper with strong plate marks, measuring approximately 5 1/2 inches wide 9 1/4 inches long. The plates are in pristine condition, as fresh as the day long ago they were published, almost 200 years previously. The paper of these prints ranges from white to a light creamy color. Please review the photos carefully as they are very accurate.
