"Seine Leidenschaft galt der Welt der Pflanzen: Der Amerikaner Robert John Thornton schuf vor rund 200 Jahren ein Buch, das noch heute zu den Schlüsselwerken botanischer Literatur zählt: The Temple of Flora, eine Sammlung üppiger Farbtafeln ... Auf Grundlage eines der wenigen noch existierenden Originalbände ist nun bei TASCHEN ein prächtiger Nachdruck erschienen."
