Description:
Second edition, no date. The first edition was 1846. Green leather boards are scuffed at the head and tail and the corners, but the binding is tight. All 60 hand colored plates are present. There is a stain in the middle of the leading edge which permeates into the pages for a half inch. It looks like a water stain. It diminishes by page 40. The stain does not intrude onto the images on the plates. There is toning throughout. There is a gift inscription dated 1913, "Elizabeth Evelyn Halton from her aunt Evelyn Houson, who had it from her grandfather William Bickmore, October 21st, 1913". Genealogy reveals that there was an Elizabeth Evelyn Halton (born 1900), whose mothers maiden name was Houson. If that is so, she then married George Lionel Pepler, who later was knighted in 1948, at which time she became Lady Pepler. Sir George Pepler was well known for town planning and there is an award named after him. I priced the book as if it were just a book. If I can confirm the association signature as that…

Description:
LONDON: William S Orr & Co, 1846 A poor copy of this beautiful work with 60 hand coloured plates. Classed as poor because the title page is missing; the binding is poor - in marked plain cloth and beginning to detach; and there is a little marking internally. The pagination matches our other 2nd edition copy so this is presumed as second, dated to 1846. The plates are in good condition - there is some brown spotting to edges, and around 3 have a darkened section, again at the edge not affecting the flower image (we have noticed only one plate with a light mark affecting the flower). All have tissue guards - one guard is torn and one has a small hole - most guards have marking. A few text pages have a little marking and p 117 has a repaired tear to the top margin. The final index page has a small hole at the top. This copy would be well worth rebinding.

LONDON: James Nelson & Co, 1859 A good copy of the 3rd edition in the original decorative cloth binding, with 60 hand coloured plates. The binding has a gilt plant to the front board with blind stamped decoration to both boards. The spine has gilt decoration and titles. There is uneven fading to the boards and the spine is faded with a couple of spots. There is wear to edges, spine ends, joints and corners (very turned) with some cloth loss but the binding is clean and sound. Original yellow endpapers present with spotting which continues over the half title and slightly affects the title page at the beginning, and affects the final index leaf and the verso of the rear free endpaper at the end. Contents are complete, clean and sound and in very good condition with 60 hand coloured plates with guards. There is light toning to page edges and the occasional light mark or corner turn. Plate 2 is positioned at p 4, and Plate 1 at p 10. There is slight grubbiness to the gutter of Plate 33 and a darker area…

London: T. Curtis, 1804. Very good +. This is a hand colored copper plate engraving. The print measures 5.5 x 9.25 inches, with a plate mark of 4.5 x 7.75. It is a beautiful decorative antique print expertly colored and beautifully composed. This particular plate has been trimmed at the rough edge.

"The Botanical Magazine; or Flower-Garden Displayed, is an illustrated publication which began in 1787. The longest running botanical magazine, it is widely referred to by the subsequent name Curtis's Botanical Magazine. Each of the issues contains a description, in formal yet accessible language, and is renowned for featuring the work of two centuries of botanical illustrators.
