About the antique botanical drawings on this site:

The exquisite botanical drawings of North American Wildflowers you see on this website are used with gracious permission of the National Agricultural Library. They are from the archive's extensive Curtis Botanical Collection.

William Curtis (1746-1799) was a trained pharmacist living in London, whose greater interest was the study of flora and insects. He maintained a large garden where he grew beautiful exotic plants. Obviously, this was the period in which all kinds of "new" plants were being imported into England from the American colonies, so many North American native wildflowers are included. Curtis began publishing the Curtis Botanical Magazine in 1787, and thrilled his subscribers with many "exotic" New World species never before seen. His principal artist for the drawings was Sydenham S. Edwards. The entire print collection of 164 volumes is housed today at the National Agricultural Library in Beltsville, Maryland.
