Handcolored copperplate engraving from a botanical illustration by James Sowerby from William Woodville and Sir William Jackson Hooker's 'Medical Botany' 1832. The tireless Sowerby (1757-1822) drew over 2,500 plants for Smith's mammoth 'English Botany' (1790-1814) and 440 mushrooms for 'Coloured Figures of English Fungi ' (1797) among many other works.
