Curtis's Botanical Magazine, 1836

Item # 135

    This is Volume XI of the so-called New Series; Volume LXIV of the whole work. The editor is William Jackson Hooker; a scientist of great repute; Professor of Botany at the University of Glasgow at this time, and, beginning in 1841, Director of the newly nationalized Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. Hooker would remain as Editor until his death in 1865. For the first years of his tenure, which began with Vol. I of the New Series, Hooker also provided the botanical illustrations; however, by the time of the present volume, the fine botanical artist Walter Hood Fitch was coming into his own, and he provides most of the drawings here. Under Hooker's direction, the Magazine immediately acquired a more formidable scientific air.
