Curtis Orchids

Hand colored engravings and lithographs from Curtis Botanical Magazine. We went through 4000 prints to find the best of the best and have them here for your convenience. All prints are original antique engravings and lithographs that were hand colored at the time of publication. This set was published from the 1790's to the 1880's and as the printing process evolved from engravings to lithography in that time period and you will see a bit of both.  William Curtis is one of the most well known botanical illustrators of all time. The images come from monthly magazines that would have a couple of prints in them.  After collecting the images for awhile they would be bound into books.
