Botanical illustration has a long and varied history. The excellent book, The Art of Botanical Illustration describes the history and art of botanical illustration as it developed through the ages. The original book was written by Wilfrid Blunt and William Stearn in 1950. It was revised by Stearn and republished in 1994 to include a new chapter about twentieth-century illustration. The book deals with the discovery of the earliest collection of plant drawings, or florilegium at the Great Temple of Tuthmosis III at Karnak about 1450BC. The story of botanical art continued to unfold until the revival of interest in flower portraiture in recent times. The book makes fascinating reading, and I thoroughly recommend searching it out.
In my own quest for knowledge about the early illustrators I have discovered a number of artists whose adventures have been inspiring. I would like to share some of these stories with you in this chapter, and I hope there will be something in the following lines that will capture your imagination and encourage you to set out on your own voyage of discovery, to learn more about the intriguing and talented artists and their associates in the history of botanical illustration.
Elizabeth Blackwells A Curious Herbal was one of the first early botanical books l saw in its original binding - and a surprisingly large book it was. The pages brought to life the story of Elizabeth and her herbal, which I had first read about in the pages of The Art of Botanical Illustration. Elizabeth was born in 1700. In 1728 she secretly married a cousin, Alexander Blackwell, who worked as a medical practitioner in Aberdeen. All was well until a dispute arose about his medical credentials, and when an investigation was instigated the couple fled to London. Soon after their arrival in London, Alexander attempted to set himself up as a printer. Unfortunately, because he had neither been through a recognized apprenticeship nor belonged to a guild, other printers in London made it difficult for him to obtain work. He soon fell into debt and was placed in a debtors prison. It was left to Elizabeth to try and raise the money for his release.
