About the Item

Antique Botanical Engraving of Convolvulus Cneorum - Rare 1799 Floral Print by William Curtis This engraving is from the publication "The Botanical Magazine," specifically from Volume 13, published on October 1, 1799. The publisher is William Curtis, with the artwork created by Sydenham Edwards and engraved by F. Sansom. Curtis's "The Botanical Magazine" was highly regarded for its detailed and accurate botanical illustrations, providing both scientific value and artistic beauty. Sydenham Edwards (1768–1819) was a distinguished botanical illustrator who contributed extensively to "The Botanical Magazine." Known for his precision and delicate handling of plant features, Edwards's work is celebrated for its scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. His contributions helped to establish the high reputation of Curtis's magazine, bridging the realms of botany and art. Description of the Engraving: The engraving features a detailed and accurate representation of Convolvulus cneorum, known commonly as silverbush. This particular illustration captures the plant's characteristic silver-green leaves and the delicate white flowers with a hint of yellow at the base of the petals. The hand-colored engraving demonstrates the meticulous attention to botanical detail that Edwards was known for, making it a valuable piece for both botanical study and artistic appreciation. The engraving is in very good condition, showing minor signs of age such as light foxing and slight edge wear. The hand coloring remains vibrant, and the paper is well-preserved, maintaining the clarity and detail of the botanical illustration.
