About Philip Miller:
Philip Miller (1691-1771) was an esteemed British botanist and horticulturist who served as the chief gardener at the Chelsea Physic Garden. His profound knowledge and contributions to the field of botany were recognized when he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Miller's works were highly influential, helping to spread knowledge about plant cultivation and properties, and his Gardener’s Dictionary was particularly significant for its comprehensive coverage of known plant species during his time, richly illustrated with such engravings.
This print not only serves as a botanical illustration but also as a historical artifact, reflecting the Enlightenment era's emphasis on scientific understanding and categorization of the natural world.
