My daughter made mummies out of her Barbies . . . and then she accessorized.

Botanical prints

James Sowerby was an English naturalist and illustrator working in the late 1700s and early 1800s. His collaboration with botanist William Curtis led to a number of printed works about plants and geology.

I have 9 hand-colored engravings that appear to have been removed from a Sowerby/Curtis publication at some point in the last 200 years.

A detail of one engraving is shown here and is available on cards and other printed items in my store, Botanica Prints. I'll add a new image each month. To see all the Sowerby engravings, look at the vertical wall calendar (note that three images appear twice).

"A tour de force in American cinema."

"An indescribable expression of humanity in an inhuman world."

See it today!
