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).
