Background:
These prints are from issues of The Botanical Register published from
1820-1822. The Register was founded by Sydenham Edwards in 1815 to promote
an understanding of ornamental flowers cultivated in British gardens, though originally
found in overseas countries. Edwards had been one of the original botanical artists
for Curtis's Botanical Magazine. The
Register was published through 1847.
For each plant we identify the country of origin
for the specimen on which the print is based. Many of the plants shown here are
identified as native to the United States.
