London Published Aug.t 1, 1800, by Dr. Thornton.
Fine aquatint, printed in colours and hand-finished. 540 x 400mm, 21¼ x 16", with large margins.
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. He 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.

Charles Whitlaw, a Scottish horticulturist, emigrated to North America in 1794 and spent about two decades collecting botanical specimens, some of which are preserved in the herbarium at the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin. On returning to Britain, he was proposed for election as a Fellow of The Linnean Society of London, but was black-balled. He established ''patent medicated vapour baths'' in which he employed various North American plants with reputed medicinal properties. Claiming to be able to cure diseases such as scrofula, Whitlaw outraged the medical establishment and he was branded a charlatan and a quack.
