PETREA, which is the smallest of the three Arabias, is barren. Deserta, obtains its name from the poverty of its soil, excepting the vicinity of the Euphrates, the country being a sandy desert. Felix, is named from the fertility of its soil, which, compared with the others, is rich and worthy cultivation; the inhabitants, nevertheless, lead wandering lives for the purpose of pasturing their flocks, or become robbers, as the caravans passing between Bassora and Aleppo, or Egypt and Mecca, frequently experience. The celebrated Mahomet was a native of this country, by whose arms, and those of his followers, the faith which he inculcated has been spread over so large a portion of the globe.

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...
