Biography:
Pierre Corneille Van Geel (Mechelen 1796 – Paris 1838), also P. C. Van Geel, was a Flemish writer, publisher, painter, and draughtsman.
Pierre Van Geel produced the lithographs for this publication, “Sertum Botanicum”, in 1828 from the drawings of G. Severyns. The publication contained approx. 600 illustrations, the majority of which were ornamental flowering plants recently introduced into cultivation. Unlike most artists of the day who relied mainly on specimens brought to Europe by overseas expeditions, few artists such as Van Geel, ventured abroad to study many of the more exotic flowers, including tropicals, that were up until then rarely captured on paper.

He studied law at Princeton University, transferring to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, to study architecture, graduating in 1912. After serving as an officer in the United States Navy during World War I, he devoted himself full-time to etching. He published his first original etchings in 1919. His initial subject was the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City near which he worked. Arms developed a successful career as a graphic artist in the 1920s and 1930s, specializing in series of etchings of Gothic churches and cathedrals in France and Italy. In addition to medieval subjects, Arms made a series of prints of American cities. He used sewing needles and magnifying glasses to get a fine level of detail. A member of many printmaking societies, Arms served as president of the Society of American Graphic Artists. An educator, Arms wrote the Handbook of Print Making and Print Makers (1934) and did numerous demonstrations and lectures. Arms was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member in 1930, and became a full member in 1933.
