W. Curtis 1794. A fine original hand-coloured copper engraving dated 1794; a very early plate from this famous work size approx. 14 x 24cm. The condition is very good colours fresh slight spotting. supplied without accompanying text and without mount. The quality of the illustrations in the Botanical Magazine is outstanding both accurate and decorative the colours vibrant. William Curtis 1746-1799 was a trained apothecary living in London although his passion was for natural history particularly plants and insects. He maintained a large well-stocked garden and began the publication of the Botanical Magazine in February 1787 which has gone on to become the most famous and influential botanical publication of its type; it is still published today making it the longest running scientific periodical of all time. Curtis edited the first 13 volumes and was then succeeded by John Simms 1800-1826 William Jackson Hooker 1827-1865 and Joseph Dalton Hooker 1865-1904 the current editor of the magazine is Martyn Rix. The fine illustrations were by many artists including Sydenham Edwards William Graves James Sowerby John Curtis William Jackson Hooker W.H. Fitch J. N. Fitch Matilda Smith Lillian Snelling and Stella Rose Craig. The plates were hand-coloured up to 1948! all being copper engravings to around 1840 and then stone or zinc lithography until the introduction of color printing in 1948.

London: C. E. Sowerby 1834. A complete set of 39 parts of the first and second supplement volumes of the first edition of Sowerby's English Botany all in the original separately dated printed blue wrappers. As such very scarce and important. The parts for supplement I are dated July 1829 to April 1831 and include 100 copper engraved plates - plate nos. 2593 to 2692 of which 12 hand-coloured otherwise uncoloured; the parts for supplement II are dated from June 1831 to Jan 1835 and includes 104 copper engraved plates - plate nos. 2693-2796 of which two folding and only these two partially hand-coloured otherwise uncoloured. All the original wrappers are very good with slight wear only. Contents clean and tight folding plates slightly spotted otherwise unmarked no inscriptions. A very good set of the first two supplements. Bibliographical note. It is unlikely that many if any other copies have survived in the original parts at least not in this condition and therefore this is an historically and bibliographically important collection. It is only comparatively recently that such works were issued in their complete form historically it was the norm for them to be published in parts over a period of time and then when complete for the purchaser to have them bound up. Anthony Gepp writing in the Journal of Botany 1906 vol XLIV says ".people were so short sighted and so unaware of their duty to posterity that they were accustomed to destroy the paper covers of books at the time of binding and this evil practice prevailed even in the best regulated libraries. The consequence is that it is now extremely difficult to find out the date of publication of any particular part of a work of that period.". First Edition. Paperback. Very Good.
