This quote about Flora Londinesis is from Wilfrid Blunt’s definitive work on botanical artists - The Art of Botanical Illustration "Flora Londinensis - a series of figures and descriptions of the plants which grew within a radius of ten miles of the metropolis (of London). The first part of the Flora Londinensis appeared in 1777. It brought him praise. Curtis hired William Kilburn (1745-1818) to assist with the Flora Londinensis as both draughtsman and engraver."
