"New Illustration of the Sexual System of Carolus Von Linnaeus... and The Temple of Flora or Garden of Nature" is a monumental botanical work by Dr. Robert John Thornton, published in London between 1799 and 1807. The work is renowned for its fusion of scientific detail and artistic endeavor, aiming to celebrate the Linnaean system of classification and the beauty of the plant kingdom. Thornton's ambitious project was inspired by the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus, who developed a new system for classifying plants based on their reproductive organs.

The publication is particularly famous for its part titled "The Temple of Flora," which consists of a series of large-scale, sumptuous plates that are considered some of the greatest achievements in botanical illustration. These plates were created by a team of eminent artists and engravers of the time, including Peter Henderson, Philip Reinagle, and Abraham Pether, among others. The illustrations depict a variety of plants in romanticized landscapes, blending scientific accuracy with creative composition, and often featuring dramatic lighting and exotic backdrops.

Dr. Thornton spared no expense in the production of this work, employing the finest paper, printers, and colorists to ensure that each plate was a masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship. Despite the high cost of production and the subsequent financial difficulties faced by Thornton, "The Temple of Flora" remains a landmark in the history of botanical illustration and is highly prized by collectors and institutions for its aesthetic beauty and historical significance.

The work is a testament to the Enlightenment's spirit of exploration and classification, reflecting the era's fascination with the natural world and the desire to understand and document its diversity. Today, "New Illustration of the Sexual System of Carolus Von Linnaeus... and The Temple of Flora or Garden of Nature" is celebrated not only for its contribution to botanical science but also for its artistic legacy, influencing generations of botanical artists and enthusiasts.
