Henry C. Andrews was one of the outstanding figures from the English School. His most famous work was The Botanist's Repository, containing 664 hand colored plates. Hunt describes the work as having made “a contribution of lasting importance to the literature of botany and horticulture by providing records and means of identification of great diversity of beautiful and interesting plants, many of them new to science”. Andrews was an artist for William Curtis for several years, as a result there are many similarities between the Botanical Magazine and the Botanist's Repository.
