These bookmarks feature the most famous image from Robert John Thornton’s New Illustration of the Sexual System of Carolus von Linnaeus (1799–1807). His book 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 in its sumptuous illustrations, such as Tulips, which is an engraving by Richard Earlom after a painting by Philip Reinagle.
