William Curtis (1746-1799) was a trained pharmacist living in  London, whose greater interest was the study of flora and  insects. He maintained a large garden where he grew  beautiful exotic plants, and began publishing the  Curtis Botanical Magazine in 1787. This digital presentation  represents one thousand fifty records, one thousand forty-eight  plates, (two of the original plates are missing, plates 797 & 860),  and there are one thousand four hundred fifty-six related pages of   text from the first 26 volumes.     A collection of the first 164 volumes is housed at   the National Agricultural Library in Beltsville, Maryland.    Although it has gone through many iterations, Curtis’ magazine  is still being published today.
