Moements with Dr. Robert Joseph Thornton (1768-1837), English physician and botanical writer.The most challenging aspect of his book the New Illustration of the Sexual System of Linnæus and The Temple of Flora first published in 1798, was Part III “The Temple of Flora” (1799-1807). The first plates were engraved by Thomas Medland (1755-1833) in 1798 from paintings by Philip Reinagle. Between 1798 and 1807 thirty-three coloured plates were engraved. Lack of interest from the general public was a total disaster for the project and the author could not be saved from financial ruin and he subsequently died in destitution.

Although his vision was not shared at the time, you can see from these beautiful images why it is one of our most popular set of Moements note cards.

The back of each card to feature poems from the original manuscript by Darwin, Shaw and others on the flora that is portrayed.
