| William Curtis (1746-1799) was a trained pharmacist living
in
London, whose greater interest was the study of flora and insects. He maintained a large garden where he grew beautiful exotic plants, and began publishing the Curtis Botanical Magazine in 1787. This digital presentation represents one thousand fifty records, one thousand forty-eight plates, (two of the original plates are missing, plates 797 & 860), and there are one thousand four hundred fifty-six related pages of text from the first 26 volumes. A collection of the first 164 volumes is housed at the National Agricultural Library in Beltsville, Maryland. Although it has gone through many iterations, Curtis' magazine is still being published today. Text and images in this presentation are not copyrighted,
