"The Botanical Magazine, Or Flower-garden Displayed" is a seminal work by the renowned British botanist William Curtis, first published in 1787. This periodical is one of the oldest continuously published botanical magazines and has played a pivotal role in the dissemination of botanical knowledge and the popularization of horticulture. Curtis, who was also the founder of the London Botanic Garden at Lambeth, aimed to make the study of plants accessible to a broader audience, including amateur gardeners and plant enthusiasts.

The magazine is particularly noted for its detailed and beautifully hand-colored illustrations, which were a significant draw for its readership. These illustrations were accompanied by comprehensive descriptions of the plants, including their native habitats, cultivation requirements, and botanical characteristics. The high-quality plates were initially produced by artists such as James Sowerby, Sydenham Edwards, and later, Walter Hood Fitch, whose meticulous work ensured that the magazine was not only scientifically valuable but also visually appealing.

Curtis's vision for the magazine was to bridge the gap between scientific botany and practical gardening. Each issue typically featured three plates, with accompanying text that provided insights into the plants' uses, both ornamental and medicinal. Over the years, "The Botanical Magazine" has documented thousands of plant species, many of which were new to science at the time of publication.

The magazine has undergone several changes in its long history, including a title change to "Curtis's Botanical Magazine" after Curtis's death in 1799. It has continued to evolve, incorporating advances in botanical science and changes in horticultural practices. Today, it remains a respected publication within the botanical community, valued for its historical significance and ongoing contributions to the field of botany.
