EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Portrait of Peter Collinson" by an anonymous English School artist from the 18th century. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of this influential figure, who was not only a recorder of new plants but also a renowned supplier of exotic flora to the aristocracy. Peter Collinson (1694-1768) was an amateur botanist and horticulturalist with a passion for collecting seeds, particularly those originating from North America. His dedication to his craft earned him recognition as one of the most prominent plant collectors of his time. This oval-shaped portrait portrays Collinson in all his Georgian elegance, exuding both intelligence and curiosity. As a Quaker gardener, Collinson's contributions to botanical knowledge were invaluable. He played a crucial role in introducing numerous new species to England, broadening its horticultural landscape significantly. This print serves as a testament to his tireless efforts in expanding our understanding and appreciation for nature's wonders. Part of The Stapleton Collection, this particular artwork is housed within a private collection today. Its historical significance cannot be overstated; it stands as an enduring tribute to Peter Collinson's legacy and impact on botany during the 18th century.
