About the Item
Antique Botanical Engraving of Dyer's Alkanet and Primrose Varieties - 1803 Floral Print by Samuel Curtis
This engraving is from "The Botanical Magazine," published by Samuel Curtis on April 1, 1803. The plate features four botanical illustrations: Fig. 1 shows a detailed depiction of Dyer's Alkanet (*Alkanna tinctoria*), Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 illustrate parts of the same plant, and Fig. 3 depicts a Primrose variety. The illustrations were drawn by Sydenham Edwards and engraved by E. Sanford, showcasing the intricate details and vibrant colors typical of early 19th-century botanical art.
About the Artist:
Sydenham Edwards was a prominent botanical illustrator in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His detailed and scientifically accurate drawings contributed significantly to botanical publications. Working with Samuel Curtis, he helped to maintain the high artistic and scientific standards of "The Botanical Magazine." E. Sanford, the engraver, translated Edwards's drawings into precise engravings, ensuring the integrity of the original artwork was preserved.
Description of the Engraving:
This plate features four figures, each illustrating different aspects of the Dyer's Alkanet plant and a Primrose. The detailed illustrations capture the unique characteristics of the plants, including the shape and color of the flowers and leaves. The delicate hand-coloring emphasizes the natural beauty and diversity of these species, making the print a valuable piece for both botanical study and artistic appreciation.
The engraving is in good condition, showing minimal signs of aging. There is light foxing present and minor wear at the edges. The hand-colored illustrations remain vibrant, and the paper is stable, maintaining the clarity of the botanical details.
