      I ordered a bunch of framed prints as gifts, and one for myself. I love them, I want more, wish my whole house was salon-style pictures from PDR.

      Prints arrived relatively quickly and were of very high quality.

      I own several PDR prints and have also given them as gifts. The attention to detail never disappoints! This is true from the curation to the artifact that you receive in the mail. Highly recommended.

      The PDR print shop is an excellent resource for unusual and unique prints from every era and style. They are beautifully executed, and arrive quickly. My highest recommendation!

      Stunning prints in excellent quality. I could not be happier with the results. I will continue to fill my home with art from PDR’s prints shop.

      Just gorgeous prints - I’ve ordered around four over the years and they’re honestly faultless. Huge recommendation.

      I got a framed Munch print as a Christmas gift for my brother. The print was beautiful with super clear resolution and the framing was immaculate.

      I’m addicted to these prints. The quality is exceptional and if you’re a fan of the PDR, then these are a no-brainer. I’ve got a small collection now. They also make for excellent, original gifts.

      Beautiful reproductions, incredible imagination and imaginative curation. Great care taken with packaging and presentation.

      One of the many exquisite illustrative plates to be found in "The Temple of Flora", the third and final part of Robert John Thornton's New illustration of the sexual system of Carolus von Linnaeus, a work considered by many to be the finest of all books about flowers. In addition to the stunning depictions of flora, notable for their novel and dramatic backdrops, for each featured flower Thornton compiled a variety of descriptions (often highly sexualised) and poetic odes (including from Erasmus Darwin's The Botanic Garden). Thornton employed a variety of artists to carry out his vision for the illustrative plates, including the engravers Thomas Medland and Joseph Constantine Stadler, who used a variety of engraving techniques to produce the images including aquatint, stipple, and line. Originally planned to contain as many as seventy folio-size plates, Thornton had to stop at thirty-three after a lack of interest from the public spelled disaster for the project.
