On the Portraits of English Authors on Gardening

On the Portraits of English Authors on Gardening, by Samuel Felton. Published 1830.

What an odd book. The title says exactly what it is, but yet it doesn’t. The author 1) makes a list of English authors who have written (or published) books about 2) gardens and gardening (including horticulture), lists them and discusses 3) portraits that have been made of them. These are not “word picture” portraits, but engravings of paintings, etc. that can be found in the various books. Oh, and 4) they were deceased at the time of writing.
