Lot description
John Miller, also known as Johann Sebastian Müller, German / British 1715-1785- Two prints from 'Illustratio Systematis Sexualis Linnaei': Icosandria Monogynia, Punica; and Icosandria Pentagynia, Pyrus; hand-coloured engravings, the first 43.8 x 29.5 cm., the second 42.6 x 28.4 cm., two (2). Provenance: A distinguished family collection. Note: Miller studied engraving under Johann Christoph Weigel (1654-1725) in Nuremberg, before travelling to London in 1744, where he remained for the rest of his life. The present prints are from Miller's most influential work, a 20-part series entitled 'Illustratio Systematis Sexualis Linnaei' (Illustration of the Sexual System of Linnaeus), which helped to familiarise British readers with the work of the biologist and taxonomist Carl Linneaus (1707-1778).
