Cochineal-colored Passion-Flower MAB118 $65
In 1837, Benjamin Maund started the publication of a
sister periodical to the highly successful Botanic
Garden, named The Botanist, in five volumes with 250
hand colored engravings. It contains plates of single
blooms of tender and hardy ornamentals. The work is of a
precision, beauty and intense color unrivalled in all of
botanical illustration. The plates are by Miss Taylor,
Mrs. Withers, Miss S. Maund, and Mrs. E Bury, among
others, & engraved by S Watts, Nevitt & Smith.

p.160; Blount p. 266.)
We are currently offering a selection of prints from
this periodical in the quarto edition size,
approximately 7 inches wide by 8 1/2 inches long. All
plates in this series of 250 are original hand colored
engravings and of the utmost delicacy and beauty. The
condition of the plates is excellent with paper strong
and not brittle and still quite white. The plates are
bright with very fine coloring. It is remarkable for a
work that is almost 200 years old. Each print is
accompanied by the descriptive text and a copy of the
title page. The photos are very accurate, so please
review carefully.
