Story

Four potted auriculas rise in rich red, blue, yellow, and white, each bloom set against a backdrop of distant mountains. Robert John Thornton created this coloured plate in 1799, worked through aquatint, stipple, and line engraving to render the flowers with delicate precision.

Where it works

A muted botanical study suited to libraries and dining rooms, and to hotel guest rooms, in a vertical format.
