The Temple of Flora

The Winged Passion Flower by Robert Thornton – Temple of Flora, or Garden of Nature – Museum Quality Giclee Print – Heritage Prints Facsimile
The Winged Passion Flower

Robert Thornton has left us a great gift with what is described by Alan Thomas, author of Great Books and Book Collecting as “one of the loveliest books in the world”. 

Thornton arranged the compositions himself, placing the flowers in settings to reflect their exotic origins. Several etching and printing techniques were used to create the engravings including mezzotint, aquatint, stipple and line engraving. The impressions were printed in color and finished by hand.
