EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the esteemed William Curtis, an influential English botanist and entomologist of the 18th century. Engraved by F. Sansom in 1790, this portrait was featured as a frontispiece in Curtis' renowned publication, "The Botanical Magazine or Flower-Garden Displayed". In this dignified portrayal, Curtis is depicted with his head held high and shoulders squared confidently. His piercing gaze exudes intelligence and passion for his field of study. As a prominent figure in the Georgian era, he contributed significantly to the advancement of botany. The intricate details captured by Sansom's skilled hand emphasize not only Curtis' physical appearance but also his expertise as an author and writer. This print serves as a testament to his dedication to botanical research and education. Displayed prominently in private collections today, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into the life of one of history's most respected scientists. It stands as a reminder of Curtis' invaluable contributions to our understanding of plants and insects during a time when such knowledge was scarce. As we admire this remarkable piece from English School's collection, we are reminded that William Curtis will forever be remembered for his significant impact on the world of botany and entomology.
