Description

Botanical Coloured Lithographs from Botanical Register ( 170 Piccadilly, London, J. Ridgway, 1822 & 1836) Framed in Green & Black with neat swirling design. These botanical drawings were commissioned by Ridgway to be printed in the Botanical Register, an illustrated magazine created by the natural history illustrator Sydenham Edwards (1769 - 1819), a Fellow of the Linnean Society who had previously worked in Curtis's Botanical Magazine and subsequently left to create his own horticultural publication. The Botanical Register ran between 1815 and 1847, publishing thirty-three volumes of fully coloured illustrations of plants, their description and accounts of their discovery and origins.

Both of the botanicals were created by female botanists / painters.
-M. Hart (english) was a female British botanical artist, with some 906 engravings in Curtis's Botanical Magazine and Edwards' Botanical Register
