Snow was an army officer when he visited Hong Kong. However in 1875 an affair with an Irish actress ruined his career and, rather than be posted to a backwater, he left his wife and disappeared. Under the alias Clifford Merton he worked as an author and illustrator of both adult and children's literature, until his wife found and exposed him in 1881. After another disappearance and name change, Richard André continued to write and illustrate books, as well as working in photography and the publishing business.

The White Lily with Variegated-leaves.
Henderson pinx.t. Stadler sculp.t.
London Published Aug.t 1, 1800, by Dr. Thornton.
Aquatint, printed in colours and hand-finished. 540 x 400mm, 21¼ x 16". Framed. Unexamined out of frame.
Madonna Lily (Lilium candidum), native of the Middle East, from Dr Robert John Thornton's 'Temple of Flora' 1799-1807, considered by many to be the greatest English colour-plate flower book, and the first series of flower prints to show the plant within a habitat. Here the plant is growing under the shadow of trees, with a clearing behind with a Grecian temple. Thornton (1768-1837) was an English physician and botanical writer. At Trinity College, Cambridge he turned away from the church towards medicine, having been inspired by the works of Linnaeus and Thomas Martyn's lectures. He went on to work at Guy's Hospital, London, where he later lectured in medical botany. Ht took some time off to travel abroad, which is when he began his ambitious work, the 'Temple of Flora', for which he produced a total of 33 coloured plates. His original plan was to publish seventy folio-size plates, however the lack of public interest spelled disaster and Thornton died in poverty.
