John Sims (1749-1831) was an English physician and botanist. Born in Canterbury and educated at the Quaker school in Burford, Oxfordshire, he went on to study medicine at Edinburgh University. He became the first editor of the Botanical Magazine after the death of William Curtis in 1799, and edited the magazine from 1801 to 1826.

All botanical plates bright and clean with vibrant hand colour, a few with slight spotting, dust at the edges. Three plates stained and browned (1986-1988), one with a tear.
With the famous decorative bookplate with skull, rococo cartouche, books and flowers of Kenneth Rae, a director at Cobden Sanderson publishing house, engraved by British artist Rex Whistler on front endpaper.
