Rare 19th-Century John Curtis Botanical Prints with Insects – Antique Botanical Engravings

Exquisite Antique botanical engravings by John Curtis (1791-1862)

 

📜 Provenance – 19th Century Botanical Engravings with Entomological Studies, after John Curtis, England, circa 1840

This suite of hand-coloured botanical engravings, attributed to the celebrated British naturalist and illustrator John Curtis (1791–1862), represents a distinguished intersection of 19th-century scientific illustration and decorative art. Curtis, best known for his contributions to the Botanical Magazine and British Entomology, was instrumental in elevating botanical engraving into an art form, integrating fine florals with precise entomological renderings.

Executed in the mid-19th century and likely derived from Curtis’s original publications or those of his contemporaries, these prints feature intricate depictions of flora and insect species, pairing natural science with aesthetic refinement. The inclusion of insects such as butterflies and beetles adds taxonomic significance and visual dynamism, highlighting the interdependence of ecosystems during a period of heightened botanical and biological exploration.

These works have been preserved in very good condition, exhibiting only minimal age-related wear consistent with fine paper from the period. Each engraving has been professionally mounted and presented in understated contemporary frames, balancing historical integrity with modern display sensibilities.

Ideal for neoclassical, academic, or transitional interiors, these engravings offer both scholarly depth and visual delicacy. Whether curated as a series or as standalone statements, they speak to a lineage of connoisseurship rooted in Enlightenment inquiry and 19th-century print culture.

Discover a stunning collection of eight original 19th-century botanical engravings by renowned British artist John Curtis. As the principal illustrator for the Botanical Magazine from 1818, Curtis was celebrated for his scientifically accurate and beautifully detailed botanical illustrations. These vintage botanical prints feature intricate depictions of plants accompanied by delicate insect engravings, a hallmark of Curtis’ distinctive style.

Hat Trick (A Hockey Reverse Haven Romance)
Format: Kindle
I loved this book, what a trip! All the things a girl could want, plus getting Alice involved with their family. Nothing better than a lot of sex and love and a great sport, the baby sill be so spoiled when they have one, wow. Reverse harems are a favorite of mine. What a treat with this family, poly amorous it is. Interesting to the end. See you next time.

Editing and Hockey Research Would Have Made This Better
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
A bit of editing and research needed here. Maybe I’m just a hockey fan, but if you’re going to use actual NHL teams as opponents, please make sure you use actual NHL teams and not NBA team names. At the beginning of chapter 24, they play the “Philadelphia 76ers” which is NOT Philly’s NHL team. That’s an insult to Gritty and the Flyers, Philly’s actual NHL team. Honestly, if you’re going to use a fictional NHL team, them just make all the opponent teams fictional too. Additionally, I believe that trainers have an entire area to themselves, not just an office with one or two tables. June wouldn’t have to go through the locker room to tear the players; more likely she has her own space and office area. war the workout and recovery areas.

So So Amazing
Format: Kindle
I received this book wiht the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review. In this book we meet June Wilder, Rhett Lawson, Cole Thibault, & Elias Nystrom. When this book opens we find that June has just joined the Atlanta Reapers as their new physical trainer. From the moment she starts she knows that she is going to get push back but there is something about not only this team but these guys that have become more to her than she thought when she first started. Rhett is the kind of guy who make a joke with anyone. One night when something happens with June he realizes there is something more than just jokes with her. Cole has been compartmentalized his life for years now. With the addition of June to the team he finds himself finding a person who understands his compartments and lets him be him. Elias is a man who is a an island. When he learns that opening up to one person who sees him allows him to grow and heal in many ways. Can they all find a HEA or will their positions make that impossible? Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Good spicy campy hockey
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed the character development. Reading about their growth and dealing with individual issues made good entertainment. Some surprising twists that made the book even better. Really glad we didn't have to go down the angst road where the public got to damage the budding relationships.
