LINNEAN SOCIETY OF LONDON. 2$ 



lloslin's portrait represents only the bust of Linnceus, while 

 Pascli's picture is a three-quarter length. The face is very care- 

 I'ully studied and reproduced. Linnseus is seated ; his left hand 

 rests on a small table, holding a sprig of Linncea, and the plant 

 does not appear above the ribbon and cross of the Polar 8tar. 



This portrait became, on the death of Sir Joseph Banks, the 

 property of llobert Brown, who presented it to the Society in 

 1853 ; it is now hung in the Library. 



The first engraving from Pasch's Eoslin was by S. Gr. and J. Gr. 

 Facius, 1788. It is a careful engraving, but the lines of the face 

 are stronger and more definite than in the original. It is a repro- 

 duction of the whole picture. This engraving has been copied 

 by Chapman, Scriven, Penny, and Holl, and for the ' Conversations 

 Lexikon.' An indejjendent engraving was made from the original 

 by Roberts for Maton's edition of Pulteney's ' Writings of Lin- 

 naeus," 1805. The copy is only half-length. Tlie face is well ren- 

 dered, excejit that the eyes are too small. Another good engraving 

 from the original was executed by C. E. Wagstaff, and published 

 in Knight's ' Gallery of Portraits,' 1835 ; this has been copied 

 as a vignette by S. Freeman for Ehind's ' Vegetable Kingdom.' 



There are several portraits by Magnus Hfillman (sometimes 

 erroneously written Hollman), who is styled " a pupil of Linnaeus " 

 on the engraving published by Dr. Thornton. The earliest is an 

 oil painting (23 in. by 17 in.) at Hammarby, which Mr. Gepp says 

 is a " tolerable daub, unlike any other porti'ait yet seen." On tlie 

 back there is this inscription: " C. Linne, Mt. 63, Mag. Haliman 

 pinx. 1769." In the rooms of the Medical Faculty in the Uni- 

 versity buildings, TJpsala, there is a short half-length portrait by 

 Ilallman, painted, according to an inscription on the back, in 1774. 

 A. B. Lambert, for many years a Vice-President of the Linneau 

 Society, had a portrait by Ilallman in his possession from the 

 beginnini; of the century until his death in 1842, when it was dis- 

 posed of by auction at the sale of his effects. The catalogue of the 

 sale states that there was the following manuscript note on the 

 back : — " A stronger likeness than Sir Joseph Banks's Portrait of 

 him [/. e. Pasch's copy of Eoslin] — Dryander." This portrait was 

 engraved for Dr. Thornton by Ogburne in an oval, surrounded by 

 an ornament designed by Bartolozzi. The inscription on this 

 engraving is " Carol us Linnaeus, Knight of the Polar Star, First 

 Physician to the King, Professor of Botany in the University of 

 Upsala, &e., &c. From the Original Picture in the Possession of 

 Aylmer Bourke Lambert, Esq., Vice-President of the Liiinean 

 Society. Hollman, pupil of Linnaeus pinx. ad viv. : Bartolozzi, 

 E.A. ornavit. Ogburne sculps. London, Published by Di\ 

 Thornton, May 1, 1806." In a later state of the plate, Ogburue's 

 name is taken out and replaced by that of 11. Me^er. The same 

 portrait was re-engraved by Meyer in octavo size and published 

 1829. The lettering is " Linnaeus. Painted by Hollman. En- 

 graved by H. Meyer. Published by J. Eobins & Co., London.
