Robert John Thornton’s New Illustration of the Sexual System of Carolus von Linnaeus (1799–1807) was comprised of three parts: a dissertation on the reproductive cycle of plants, an explanation of Linnaeus’ plant system, and The Temple of Flora. This third and final part was the most ambitious and has become instantly recognizable. Lavishly illustrated with large-format plates of floral portraits, mostly engraved by Thomas Medland (c. 1765 – 1833) from paintings by Philip Reinagle (1749–1833), the exquisitely detailed works remain an astounding achievement in botanical illustration and continue to be revered and adored across the world.
