Rare 19th-Century John Curtis Botanical Prints with Insects – Antique Botanical Engravings

Exquisite Antique botanical engravings by John Curtis (1791-1862)

 

📜 Provenance – 19th Century Botanical Engravings with Entomological Studies, after John Curtis, England, circa 1840

This suite of hand-coloured botanical engravings, attributed to the celebrated British naturalist and illustrator John Curtis (1791–1862), represents a distinguished intersection of 19th-century scientific illustration and decorative art. Curtis, best known for his contributions to the Botanical Magazine and British Entomology, was instrumental in elevating botanical engraving into an art form, integrating fine florals with precise entomological renderings.

Executed in the mid-19th century and likely derived from Curtis’s original publications or those of his contemporaries, these prints feature intricate depictions of flora and insect species, pairing natural science with aesthetic refinement. The inclusion of insects such as butterflies and beetles adds taxonomic significance and visual dynamism, highlighting the interdependence of ecosystems during a period of heightened botanical and biological exploration.

These works have been preserved in very good condition, exhibiting only minimal age-related wear consistent with fine paper from the period. Each engraving has been professionally mounted and presented in understated contemporary frames, balancing historical integrity with modern display sensibilities.

Ideal for neoclassical, academic, or transitional interiors, these engravings offer both scholarly depth and visual delicacy. Whether curated as a series or as standalone statements, they speak to a lineage of connoisseurship rooted in Enlightenment inquiry and 19th-century print culture.

Discover a stunning collection of eight original 19th-century botanical engravings by renowned British artist John Curtis. As the principal illustrator for the Botanical Magazine from 1818, Curtis was celebrated for his scientifically accurate and beautifully detailed botanical illustrations. These vintage botanical prints feature intricate depictions of plants accompanied by delicate insect engravings, a hallmark of Curtis’ distinctive style.

Beyond my expectations…
Scent: Incredible 10/10. The entire shower smells like a spa afterwards. Woody notes, vanilla scent is deliciously heavy and warm, and even one pump delivers a punch of fresh vanilla scent to your entire body. I’m a woman who is in love with heavy earthy scents and this is it! P.S it also matches well with scents like vanilla, cocoa butter, chocolate, or even delicious “smore” scents! I pair it with vanilla and cocoa butter scented deodorant, vanilla perfume, or vanilla body lotion and it works amazing! Longevity: Lasts the entire day if I’m staying home just relaxing, not working out or sweating very much. I could shower in the early morning and by the time my head hits the pillow I still smell it faintly! If I’m out and about it still lasts hours I’d estimate around 6-8 hours before the scent fades! If I shower at 6am, come home at 5pm-6pm after work I still smell fresh! (I always shower 2x a day but you don’t even need to with this! Value for Money/Size: Oh absolutely! I think I bought this soap two weeks ago? Used it nearly every day, and you can’t even tell! One pump is enough, two pumps MAX per shower per day. I decided to lavish myself by buying this soap, because it’s a bit more pricey. But it’s actually saving me more money, at this rate I’ll be buying another one of these every 3 months! So that’s…4 times a year? 5 max? That’s incredible. I’ll probably stick with Cremo for life honestly. And I’m a woman!💕🎀

High Quality and Smells Great!
This is so far superior to the standard soaps that you buy off the shelf in a supermarket. It creates a truly luxurious lather and smells fantastic without being obnoxious or perfume.

Body wash
Scent: Aquatic
high-quality body wash with a rich, creamy lather that cleans without drying your skin. The Coastal Breeze scent gives a fresh, slightly tropical ocean vibe with layered notes that feel more premium than typical drugstore washes. It rinses clean and leaves skin feeling smooth, not sticky. ✔ Rich lather + moisturizing feel ✔ Fresh, clean coastal scent (not overpowering) ✔ Feels more “luxury” than basic body washes ❗ Scent may be light for those who like strong fragrance ❗ Slightly pricier than basic brands 👉 Bottom line: A solid upgrade body wash—great if you want a clean, fresh scent and a more premium shower experience without going high-end.

Enjoy a beachin' experience in the shower.
Scent: Aquatic
I enjoy Cremo's body wash products. They work well with my skin and body chemistry. Not overly drying or overly moisturizing. Foams nicely with a silicone body scrubber, rinses cleanly. Scent during the shower is very nice. Smells like sun screen and salt water with some coconut undertones, you feel like you just got back on a boat in the Caribbean after swimming in the ocean. It is not super sweet smelling coconut. After drying, some scent remains on skin, lingers maybe an hour or two, not overpowering, doesn't smell like a teenager. Product performs nicely, good value for the scent, quality of body wash, and size. Keep these coming Cremo, don't mess up this product line.
