l6 PEOCEEDINQS OF THE 



position of the right arm by lowering the hand to the level of the 

 girdle. This painting was engraved by Andorf for the Stettin 

 Entomological Society, and published in their Zeitung for 1858 ; 

 copies of it jjrinted on quarto paper were issued se])arately. 

 Another engraving of this modern painting, by J. Wolf, is pre- 

 fixed lo the first volume of Ahrling's ' Linne's Svenska Arbeten,' 

 and this has been again employed as the frontispiece to ' The 

 Floral King' of Alberg, 1888. 



Copies in oil of the Hartekamp ])icture exist in the Academy 

 at Stockholm and the rooms of the Medical Faculty at TJpsala. 



The next portrait of Liuna?us is an octavo engraving dated 

 1740. Having returned to Sweden he had been elected a 

 member of the Stockholm xlcademy, and by ballot unexpectedly 

 raised to the Presidential Chair ; he had secured a small income, 

 had married and taken up liouse in Stockholm, and was buoyed 

 with the hope that he would speedily occupy a Chair in Upsala, 

 At this time the new portrait was taken, the original of which, 

 as far as is known, is the plate on which the engraver thus 

 records his part: " Au. Ehreusverd arnica manu se. 1740." 

 Linnaeus, now in his 33rd year, is represented nearly full face, 

 but slightly directed towards the left. There is a distinct curve 

 in the outline of the nose. The head is covered with a full wig. 

 The right hand rests on an Svo volume lettered ' Syst. Nat.,' but 

 too thick for any edition of the ' Systema Naturae ' then exi.stiiig, 

 and the left hand, resting on the right, holds a sprig of Linncea. 

 He has on a loose garment over his left shoulder ; his shirt is 

 open at the neck. The two w^arts, which occur in this and most 

 of the later portraits, are faintly shown and incorrectly on the 

 left side of the face, one on the cheek above the line of the 

 mouth, and the other near the middle of the nose where it joins 

 the cheek. Linnaeus in his diary, when speaking of his personal 

 appearance, says : — " Verruca obliterata in bucca dextra et alia in 

 nasi dextro latere." The plate is inscribed : " Carolus Linnaeus 

 Med. Doct. Natus 1707, Maj. if, ^Etat. 33." It is octavo size, and 

 has, as far as I know, never been published. The plate still 

 exists, and is in the possession of a Greve Lewenhaupt of 

 Upsala ; impressions have recently been printed from it, one of 

 which the Society possesses, presented by Dr. Gr. Liudstrom. 



The portraits prefixed to the different editions of the works of 

 Linnaeus are modifications of Ehrensverd's engraving. That 

 inscribed " J. M. Bernigeroth sc. Lips. 1748 " was issued as a 

 frontispiece to the sixth edition of the ' Systema Naturte,' 

 published at Leipsig in that year. Tlie face looks somewhat 

 older than it appears in Ehrensverd, the nose is more straight 

 and the double chin larger. A short black tie is passed through 

 the holes in the collar of the shirt, but the breast is still left 

 open ; the breast and cuffs of the shirt are edged with trimming 

 as becomes the dress of an Archiater. The engraving is lettered 

 " Carolus Linnaeus, M.D.," and four lines of titles are added.
