Maria Elizabetha Jacson 1755 – 1829 was a botanical writer and the daughter of a clergyman who owned land in Derbyshire and Cheshire. Her family had connections to Enlightenment culture in the midlands through Erasmus Darwin and her cousin Sir Brooke Boothby. She also knew Maria Edgeworth who described Jacson as a "gay garden lady" and was undoubtedly an influence on Jacson's work. Jackson took an interest in botany from a young age but did not publish her first book the children's educational volume Botanical Dialogues 1797 until she was in her forties. She later published Botanical Lectures 1804 and Sketches of the Physiology of Vegetable Life 1811 for an adult audience the former book being an introduction to the translation of Linnaeus's System of Vegetables 1783 by Erasmus Darwin. The Florist's Manual was her most popular and influential work.</p> Henry Colburn, hardcover

He appears to have been active as an artist and engraver in England and France in the early 19th century. According to the preface he traveled to Athens in 1797 and Turkey in 1798 where he created the original drawings for the plates consistently sketching from life. The characters are precisely drawn and handsomely depicted in vivid colors. The accompanying descriptive text is sometimes attributed to William Alexander drawing heavily from the published accounts of Turkey by James Dallaway 1797 Baron de Tott who resided in Constantinople for many years until 1790 and other sources. This first edition was followed by subsequent editions in 1818 and 1820.</p><p>Little is known about the two engravers John Dadley 1767–after 1807 who worked in London and William Poole active 1803-1807.
