Sydenham Edwards was the son of a Welsh schoolmaster who attracted the attention of Curtis. He came to London to train with Curtis, and for 27 years most of the drawings in Curtis’ Botanical Magazine were his. As a result of a misunderstanding in 1815, he severed his connection with the publication and started the rival Botanical Register.
