Twining – ‘Illustrations of the Natural Orders of Plants’

THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD

 
Elizabeth Twining

Hand coloured lithographs, “Illustrations of the Natural Orders of Plants’

Grand daughter of Richard Twining, wealthy tea merchant and widely know for the famous tea label. Elizabeth shared her time between philanthropy and study of botany which inspired her to publish this work, suggesting a new approach to plant families in contrast to the already established Linnaeus System, the later which is still used today.

Although her work was an interesting challenge, it was not recognized in society. Her groupings and artistic presenting are very attractive, this work is rare.
