Monograph of the Genus Camellia – Oppenheimer Kew Gardens Edition

Showing all 5 results

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.
