The Superb Lily, from The Temple of Flora Artist's working dates 1763-1822 England. The consummate mezzotint engraver Richard Earlom produced this large-scale mixed-media print of the Superb Lily (seen here in the second of four substantially different states) around 1799. The image was intended to be included in botanist Richard John Thorntonís grand publication of over life-sized prints of 70 species of flora, celebrating Carl Linnaeusís 1735 classification system. By 1810, Thornton issued an apology to his neglected subscribers and printed extra impressions for an 1811 lottery.

Nonetheless, the 33 plates completed at full scale remain absolute masterpieces.. Color mezzotint, aquatint and etching, inked la poupÈe, with watercolor (hand-coloring) on cream wove paper .
