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.

Very nice if you aren't too pick on actual color.
Size: Single Pelt/2 ft x 3 ft, Color: Blue
Colors may vary. I really liked this, it was the perfect size and that perfect combination of soft and fluffy, but not being "too fluffy" and looking like a shaggy dog that needed a haircut. My only complaint was the color. Supposed to be blue, and I know monitors and lighting distort stuff but this was an obvious turquoise/teal. Much much greener than I was looking for. I could have made any variant of an actual blue work from powder baby to practically navy, but not this. I had to return, but other than the color, this seemed to be a very nice rug. Sad the color was so off.

ITS SOOOO FLUFFY!!
Color: Orange
Ooouuu she’s so fluffy!!!!!! Omg, I’m in love. The color looks exactly as pictured. The gear shift cover was way too small for my RAV4 but it’s okay, it kind of interfered with the button to move the gear. Also, if you need to see the info on the dash, be aware that the steering wheel cover blocks it for the most part. I’m not bothered by it but it’s something to make note of for those who might be.
