James Sowerby
The mid-eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century was a time of illustrious achievements in the world of botanical art. One of the best botanical artists and most knowledgeable natural historians of this era was James Sowerby (1757-1822). Artists who once sought to please the whims of wealthy patrons were turning to scientists for inspiration, and they now had access to countless new botanical specimens thanks to prolific explorers and plant hunters.
Despite Sowerby's place in the pantheon of botanical artists, no full biography of the artist exists. Talented and prolific, his crowning achievement was Sowerby's Botany, a thirty-six volume work on the botany of England that contained 2,592 hand-colored botanical engravings. Paul Henderson remedies this with a thoroughly researched and wholly fascinating look at Sowerby's life and legacy.Henderson explores Sowerby's
