    19th Century Set Of 8 British Botanicals With Insects And Plants By John Curtis

    8 botanical engravings of plants and insects with beautiful colouring.
     
    19th-century botanical illustrations with insects are detailed drawings of plants and insects that were created during the 19th century. These works of art were typically produced as scientific illustrations to accompany botanical texts, but they were also popular among collectors as decorative items. The illustrations were created using traditional methods, such as watercolour and pen and ink, and they often showcase the intricate details of the plants and insects. The artists of these botanical illustrations were highly skilled, and they took great care to accurately depict the various features of the specimens they were drawing. These features included the shape and structure of the leaves, flowers, and stems, as well as the intricate patterns and colours of the insects that often interacted with the plants. The botanical illustrations with insects provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of nature during the 19th century, and they continue to be valued for their scientific and artistic merit.
