About The Flower Garden Display’d
Robert Furber’s publication The Flower Garden Display’d contains 12 prints featuring the various plants that are in bloom for each month of the year. In each engraving, the plants overflow from opulent urns in an orchestra of color while a ledger at the bottom of the sheet indicates the depicted plant species. Upwards of 30 different plant species are represented in each plate with over 400 species depicted in the entire series. As a result, Furber’s 18th-century engravings functioned not only as aesthetic decorative objects but also as functional seed catalogs to be referenced by horticulturists.
The Oppenheimer Editions publication of Furber’s The Flower Garden Display’d makes available all 12 plates as modern fine art prints in a limited edition of 200.
About Robert Furber
Robert Furber (1674 – 1756) was a Kensington nurseryman and writer best known for his successful publication, The Twelve Months of the Year in Flowers, later reprinted under the title The Flower Garden Display’d. This publication was notable for being the first commercial seed catalog of its time.
About Oppenheimer Editions
Established in 1999, our publishing company Oppenheimer Editions was developed in order to produce modern facsimiles of historic works of art. Marrying cutting-edge digital printing technologies with canonical works of art, Oppenheimer Editions has partnered with prestigious museums to make their holdings accessible to the public as fine art prints. Works from the New-York Historical Society’s unrivaled collections of John James Audubon’s watercolors and the Hudson River School paintings are examples of art that otherwise would be unobtainable.
Among the institutional collections we have partnered with are the American Museum of Natural History, the Field Museum, and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. Our Oppenheimer Editions prints are not mere reproductions. Rather, they are limited-edition fine art prints made with the finest quality archival pigments on rag watercolor paper and executed to exacting standards.
