Drawn by Sydenham Edwards and engraved by F. Sansom, these hand-colored copperplate engravings exemplify the precision and clarity of Curtis’s influential botanical work. Each composition balances scientific observation with a restrained, highly decorative sensibility including fine linework, controlled color, and elegant proportion.

The two works are closely related but not identical in issue, published within two years of one another. Together, they form a cohesive pairing while retaining subtle variation; an arrangement that feels considered rather than matched.

Presented in classic, layered mats with hand-lined detailing and substantial dark wood frames with gilt accents. Ready to hang.
