Early 19th Century Botanical Engraving by John Curtis – Hand Coloured Natural History Plate An original early 19th-century hand-coloured botanical engraving from the celebrated natural history publications of John Curtis (1791–1862), one of Britain’s most respected botanical and entomological illustrators. This beautifully detailed plate illustrates a flowering plant in scientific profile, showing bloom structure, leaves, buds, and root system with precision typical of early Victorian natural history illustration. Curtis’s work bridges science and art — created for study, yet prized today for its elegance and balance. These engravings formed part of the golden age of British botanical publishing, when artists collaborated with engravers and colourists to produce plates that were both accurate and visually refined. Each impression was printed from an engraved plate and then carefully coloured by hand, meaning no two examples are ever exactly identical. The composition has the clarity collectors seek: • Central botanical specimen • Naturalistic colour palette • Fine line engraving • Period scientific titling This makes it ideal as a single framed piece or as part of a gallery wall of antique botanical studies. About John Curtis John Curtis was a leading figure in British natural history illustration. He is best known for British Entomology and botanical works that combined taxonomic accuracy with graceful composition. His engravings are held in major museum collections and remain highly collectable in the decorative arts market. Period Early 19th century, circa 1820–1840. Technique Copperplate engraving with original hand colouring on laid paper. Condition Good antique condition consistent with age. Light toning and minor handling marks may be present, as expected with early 19th-century works on paper. Please see the images. Why Collect Curtis Botanical Prints...

Antique Great Yarmouth Fishing Boats Maritime Etching by E.W. Cooke, 1828 Original antique maritime etching by the important English marine artist Edward William Cooke (1811–1880), depicting traditional fishing cobles drawn up on the beach at Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Title: Yarmouth Cobles, on the Beach Artist: Edward William Cooke (1811–1880) Date: 1828 Place of Origin: England Technique: Etching on paper Subject: Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England Fishing boats / cobles British maritime and coastal life Description: A finely detailed original maritime etching by Edward William Cooke, showing two traditional cobles resting on the beach at Great Yarmouth on the east coast of England. The two fishing boats dominate the foreground, one with its sail raised and the nearer vessel bearing an abbreviated reference to Great Yarmouth. Along the shoreline to the right are small groups of figures and a horse-drawn vehicle, while sailing vessels appear on the distant horizon. The plate is signed and dated within the image at lower right, “E.W.C. fecit 1828,” and the title “Yarmouth Cobles, on the beach” is engraved beneath the image. Cobles are distinctive traditional open fishing boats historically associated with the northeast coast of England. Their characteristic construction was developed for launching from and landing upon exposed beaches, making them an important part of Britain's historic coastal fishing culture. Edward William Cooke was one of the leading British marine artists of the 19th century. Fascinated by ships and naval architecture from an early age, Cooke produced remarkably accomplished etchings of boats, shipping and coastal subjects while still a teenager. This work dates from 1828, when Cooke was only about seventeen years old, making it an especially interesting example of his early graphic work. Cooke subsequently developed a distinguished career as a marine and landscape painter and was elected a Royal Academician. His detailed knowledge of ships and their construction gives his maritime works a particularly convincing documentary quality. The relatively small etched image is printed on a substantially larger sheet, creating an attractive expanse of original period paper around the composition. Condition: Excellent antique condition consistent with its age. General light toning. Some discoloration and age-related wear toward the sheet edges. The etched image itself remains clear and well defined. Please study the photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description. Style / Period: Georgian Early 19th Century Romantic Period This is an original antique etching dating from 1828, not a modern reproduction. Sold unframed. Any framed or interior images shown are for presentation and inspiration only.
