In 1819, Samuel Curtis — botanist, publisher, and nephew of William Curtis of the Botanical Magazine — commissioned Clara Maria Pope to produce hand-colored aquatint engravings of the most beautiful camellia varieties then cultivated in Britain. The front cover presents the Anemone-flowered Waratah and Middlemist’s Red — one of the rarest flowers in the world, with only two surviving specimens today; the back cover presents Plate I with the Single White, Single Red, and Sasanqua camellia, documenting the full range of Regency camellia beauty.
