About the Item
This framed hand-colored engraving entitled "February Bouquet" is from 'The Twelve Months of Flowers' by Henry Furber, published in London in 1730 by Robert Sayer and John King. Each of the twelve hand-colored engravings in the book were produced from paintings by Pieter Casteels (1684-1749) and engraved by Henry Fletcher (1710-1753). The book featured twelve detailed engravings of seasonal plants in bloom in the form of a bouquet. More than 400 different species of flowering plants were included with each plant numbered and accompanied by a list of the corresponding species names. Thirty-five species of flowers are depicted in this engraving in a bouquet sitting in an ornate attractive bowl. A few of the flowers lie loose on a table. The flower species are listed in a table in the lower portion of the plate, along with the month that these flowers are in bloom.
This colorful print is presented in a gold-colored wood frame with a cream-colored double mat with a heather green inner mat. The frame measures 23.5" High, 19" wide and 1.63" deep. There are a few small frame abrasions, but the print is in very good condition.
Robert Furber (1674-1756) was a British horticulturist and author, best known for writing the first seed catalogue produced in England. He was a member of the "English Society of Gardners", formed in 1724 with the goal of mutually agreeing to standardized names for newly discovered plants. Furber contributed to the group's work and collaborated on a book that documented the newly plants discovered and their aged upon names. He also owned and operated a nursery in London's Kensington district, near Hyde Park Gate, from around 1700 until his death. He used these engravings as part of an elaborate catalogue of his inventory of flowers available for sale. The nursery survived under subsequent owners until the 1840s.
