"The Botanical Magazine, Vol. 02" by William Curtis is a botanical periodical published in 1788. This volume continues Curtis's pioneering illustrated journal that introduced readers to ornamental and exotic plants through hand-colored copper engravings. Each issue pairs formal yet accessible botanical descriptions with detailed illustrations, featuring exploded views and cross-sections to aid identification. The magazine became a landmark publication, combining scientific accuracy with artistic beauty, and established a tradition of botanical illustration that would span centuries.
