Robert Furber Art

British, 1674-1756
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 from around 1700 until his death. It survived under subsequent owners until the 1840s.

"February Bouquet" from 'The Twelve Months of Flowers' series by Robert Furber

By Robert Furber

Located in Alamo, CA

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...

Multiple vertical and horizontal creases from folding and rolling; none appear to be particularly hard, there is however some associated cockeling. While there is some minor mat tone visible around the perimeter of the sheet, the extensive handcoloring remains extremely fresh and saturated in the intended areas. There are edge tears at each the right and left sheet edge (outside of the image area) due to an improper effort to mount the sheet to a mat. Otherwise in very good condition with all issues being consistent with age. The print is wrongly titled "The South East Prospect of Westminster Bridge...
