About the Artist:
Georg Dionysius Ehret was born in Germany in 1708 and began his working life as a gardener's apprentice near Heidelberg. He became one of the most influential European botanical artists of all time.
His first illustrations were in collaboration with Carl Linnaeus and George Clifford, who was a wealthy Dutch banker and Governor of the Dutch East India Company.
He moved to England later in his life and his original artwork may now be found at the Natural History Museum in London, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, The Royal Society in London, the Lindley Library at the Royal Horticultural Society and the Victoria and Albert Museum, as well as the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation in Pittsburgh.
He died in 1770
