              Est: $2,000 - $4,000

              This dramatic large folio botanical engraving is from Dr. Robert John Thornton’s work New Illustration of the Sexual System of Carolus Von Linnaeus...and the Temple of Flora, or Garden of Nature.

Each engraving was made using stipple, mezzotint, and aquatint processes and some feature hand-coloring heightened with gum Arabic. The engraving will include the text when available to send with the plate. Thornton’s engravings featured an uncommon composition in which the subject was seen oversized in relation to the background giving the plates a theatrical presence.

Richard Earlom, James Caldwall, Thomas Sutherland, and Joseph Constantine Stadler were the engravers for Temple of Flora. Thornton's The Temple of Flora is the greatest English colour-plate flower book. "...[Thornton] inherited a competent fortune and trained as a doctor.

              Est: $1,000 - $2,000

              This strong quarto botanical plate is from Dr. Robert Thornton’s The Temple of Flora. The plate was published by Thornton as part of the 1812 Lottery edition. The Temple of Flora, both the folio and Lottery editions, are considered to be one of the most extraordinary botanical works. The publishing of the folio edition of this work bankrupted Dr. Thornton, and thus led him to creating the Great Botanical Lottery and the plates from the edition seen here. The Lottery was unfortunately not a success and Thornton could not continue further publication of the work. Though the work did not have financial success in its time, it remains one of the greatest botanical works ever published. Each plate was created using several printing processes including mezzotint, aquatint, engraving, etching, and stipple. The plates were printed in color and then finished by hand at the time of printing. Thornton’s engravings featured an uncommon composition in which the subject was seen oversized in relation to the background giving the plates a theatrical presence. Temple of Flora is often considered the greatest achievement in British botanical art. Thornton employed some of the foremost artists to create the plates included Peter Charles Henderson, Philip Reinagle, Abraham Pether, and Sydenham Edwards. Richard Earlom, James Caldwall, Thomas Sutherland, and Joseph Constantine Stadler were the engravers for Temple of Flora. Thornton's The Temple of Flora is the greatest English colour-plate flower book. "...[Thornton] inherited a competent fortune and trained as a doctor.

              Thornton - Group of Auriculas

              Est: $1,000 - $2,000

              This strong quarto botanical plate is from Dr. Robert Thornton’s The Temple of Flora. The plate was published by Thornton as part of the 1812 Lottery edition. The Temple of Flora, both the folio and Lottery editions, are considered to be one of the most extraordinary botanical works. The publishing of the folio edition of this work bankrupted Dr. Thornton, and thus led him to creating the Great Botanical Lottery and the plates from the edition seen here. The Lottery was unfortunately not a success and Thornton could not continue further publication of the work. Though the work did not have financial success in its time, it remains one of the greatest botanical works ever published. Each plate was created using several printing processes including mezzotint, aquatint, engraving, etching, and stipple. The plates were printed in color and then finished by hand at the time of printing. Thornton’s engravings featured an uncommon composition in which the subject was seen oversized in relation to the background giving the plates a theatrical presence.
