About the Illustrator:
Joseph Harrison (1796-1856) was celebrated in his day as the man who introduced the first mass-circulation gardening magazines and probably informed and influenced more gardeners than any other writer in the first half of the nineteenth century. His was the son of Charles Harrison, gardener to James Stuart Wortley of Wortley Hall in Yorkshire and he succeeded him in that position when his father became head gardener at Petworth House, Sussex. His first entry into the world of magazine publishing was as a partner of Joseph Paxton, with whom he started The Horticultural Register. His most successful publication, where he served as editor, was "The Floricultural Cabinet and Florist's Magazine" which began in March 1833 and continued until 1859. The magazine contained articles on various aspects of flower cultivation, information on horticultural societies, newly identified species, and was illustrated by various contributors with hand-colored plates. The magazine sold nearly 60,000 copies in its first nine months, a record for its day.
