The antique artworks measured 9½ by 6 inches(24 by 15.5 cm). Some of the prints were double sized fold out prints and measure 12 by 9.5 inches (31 by 24 cm). and were made in the 1890s by lithography with hand painted colors. The Botanical Magazine (1787-1983) was one of the first, and certainly the longest published, of the British horticultural journals. The plants were drawn and colored by some of the leading botanical artists of the day such as Sydenham Edwards, James Sowerby and the Fitch family.
