About Monograph of the Genus Camellia

Clara Maria Pope’s hand-colored aquatint engravings of camellias were published in Samuel Curtis’ 1819 publication Monograph of the Genus Camellia. Aided by Pope’s magnificent illustrations, this monograph was deemed “One of the earliest and probably the finest of all great camellia books” (Great Flower Books, p. 54). Each of Pope’s engravings attractively juxtaposes two varieties of camellias in a compositional arrangement that resembles a bouquet. The Oppenheimer Kew Gardens Edition of Monograph of the Genus Camellia makes available all 5 of Pope’s engravings as limited edition fine art prints.

About Clara Maria Pope

Clara Maria Pope began her career as an artist’s model but soon assumed the role of the artist herself. Pope developed her talents as a botanical illustrator and taught as an art instructor to women of the royal family. Her contributions to Samuel Curtis’ famous and longstanding Botanical Magazine as well as his 1819 publication Monograph of the Genus Camellia earned her much praise as an artist.

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.
