Antique print by Edwards: Protea Cape Silver Tree (Leucadendron Argentum)

Information	Sydenham Teast Edwards was the son of a Welsh schoolmaster and the inseparable companion of William Curtis on his botanical expeditions.

As a result of a disagreement with Curtis in 1815, Edwards started a rival publication, The Botanical Register, from which this print is from. The prints from the Botanical Register are wonderfully detailed, look marvelous when framed and are favorites of many of our regular customers.
