Overall size approx 13.3cm x 22.5cm. Generally fine condition - see scan for details.William Curtis(11 January 1746 andndash; 7 July 1799) was an English botanistand entomologistwho was born in Alton, Hampshire, site of the Curtis Museum. Curtis began as an apothecary, before turning his attention to botany and other natural history. The publications he prepared reached a wider audience than early works on the subject had intended.At the age of 25 he producedInstructions for collecting and preserving insects; particularly moths and butterflies.Curtis was demonstrator of plants and Praefectus Horti at the Chelsea Physic Gardenfrom 1771 to 1777. He established his own London Botanic Garden at Lambethin 1779, moving to Bromptonin 1789. He publishedFlora Londinensis(6 volumes, 1777andndash;1798), a pioneering work in that it devoted itself to urban nature. Financial success was not found, but he went on the publishThe Botanical Magazinein 1787, a work that would also feature hand coloured plates by artists such as James Sowerbyand Sydenham Edwards. (William Kilburn is often erroneously cited as having contributed plates toCurtiss Botanical Magazine. Though he did provide illustrations toFlora Londinensis, his association with Curtis seems to have ended by 1777, 10 years before the first publication of theBotanical Magazine).Curtis was to gain wealth from the ventures into publishing, short sales onLondinensiswere offset by over 3,000 copies of the magazine. Curtis said they had each brought pudding or praise. The genusCurtisiais named in his honour. His publication was continued as the esteemed botanical publication,Curtiss Botanical Magazine.
