John Nugent Fitch (24 October 1840 – 11 January 1927) was a British botanical illustrator and lithographer,[1] best known for his contribution of 528 plates to The Orchid Album,[2] a landmark work of eleven volumes published between 1872 and 1897. Fitch was the nephew of botanical artist Walter Hood Fitch (1817–1892).[3] Fitch also contributed to Curtis's Botanical Magazine from 1878, joining a select group of illustrators such as William Kilburn, James Sowerby, Sydenham Edwards, William Jackson Hooker and Walter Hood Fitch. Fitch also produced plates for Lepidoptera Indica[4] by Frederic Moore. He was also employed by Trevor Lawrence to paint pictures of his orchids.[5]
Fitch was elected a fellow of the Linnean Society in 1877.[1]
