介绍（中）	这幅色彩精致的水彩描绘了蓝色埃及睡莲（Nymphaea coerulea）从阿布基尔湾的尼罗河水域升起，中距离有棕榈树和一座清真寺。该网站会让观众想起纳尔逊 1798 年在尼罗河战役中战胜法国舰队。约翰·桑顿博士将他的个人财富奉献给了该项目，该项目庆祝瑞典博物学家卡尔·林奈（Carl Linnaeus）最近发现的与花卉繁殖有关的发现。来自全球各个角落的花朵都在原生栖息地展出（尽管计划出版的七十幅印刷品中只有三十二张）。13 位雕刻师根据植物艺术家提供的绘画和素描工作，这些板子使用水色、点画和中音的组合蚀刻，以"à la poupée"彩色印刷，然后添加水彩。尺寸、构图和敏感的色彩共同表明，这些作品希望将植物艺术提升到与更崇高的流派相媲美的水平。
介绍（英）	This delicately colored aquatint depicts blue Egyptian water lily (Nymphaea coerulea) rising from the waters of the Nile at Aboukir Bay, with palm trees and a mosque in the middle distance.The site would have reminded viewers of Nelson's 1798 victory over the French fleet at the Battle of the Nile. Dr. John Thornton devoted his personal fortune to the project which celebrated recent discoveries relating to floral reproduction by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus. Flowers from all corners of the globe are shown in native habitats (although costs allowed only thirty-two of a planned seventy prints to be published). Thirteen engravers worked from paintings and drawings supplied by botanical artists, the plates were etched using a combination of aquatint, stipple and mezzotint, printed in color "à la poupée" then enhanced with watercolor additions. Size, composition and sensitive coloring together suggest that these works hoped to raise botanical art to a level that rivaled more exalted genres.
