A reproduction from Robert John Thornton’s “The Temple of Flora.” These images depict flowers in epic and unusual settings. Interwoven amongst the images are various descriptions, histories and poetic odes regarding the flowers featured.

Between 1798 and 1807 they produced a total of thirty-three colored plates, engraved in aquatint, stipple and line. Others engravers included Joseph Constantine Stadler working from the painting of Peter Charles Henderson.
