Addional Notes:
Edward Joseph Lowe's eight-volume Ferns: British and Exotic was a direct result of Fernmania. His fascination with ferns led him to study and paint them throughout the entire second half of the nineteenth century. The first volume of Ferns: British and Exotic was published in 1856 and republished in 1872. His career culminated in 1895 with Fern Growing; Fifty Years Experience in Crossing and Cultivation. The prints were printed with engraved woodblocks by Benjamin Fawcett and designed and engraved by A.F. Lydon. There were a number of New Zealand ferns included in the volumes.
