Nuevo Mundo Spain 1920’s
These magazine covers are a wonderful documentation of early 20th Century art showing exploration in both vibrant colours and composition. Many of the artists gained acknowledgement through this work and went on to successful careers including work on the more famous Vogue covers. By the very nature of these publications most were thrown away making these very scarce items (colour process prints).

‘When I work with ink on canvas my images become much more detailed. Tools of the trade to the left. I’m always more captivated by the side profiles and keeping a blackened face.’

“Luteola Cannabinoides Cretica”
Elizabeth Blackwell (nee Blachrie) was among the first women to achieve fame as a botanical illustrator.
She was born in Aberdeen in about 1700, but moved to London after she married.
She undertook an ambitious project to raise money to pay her husband’s debts and release him from debtors’ prison. Her project was a book called ‘A Curious Herbal’.
She learned that physicians required a reference book which documented the medicinal qualities of plants and herbs. In order to develop the publication she examined and drew specimens of plants available in the Chelsea Physic Garden. Sir Hans Sloane provided financial support to publish ‘A Curious Herbal’.
Elizabeth Blackwell is notable for being one of the first botanical artists to personally etch and engrave her own designs. This saved the expense of hiring a professional engraver. In total, the enterprise took Blackwell six full years to complete and in the end she was able to release her husband from prison.
‘A Curious Herbal’ was published between 1737 and 1739. The book contained the first illustrations of many odd-looking, unknown plants from the New World.
