of nearly the same date. Banks is sitting at a table, 

 surrounded by geographical indications. A fine mezzo- 

 tint by Dickinson was the means of popularizing this 

 portrait. Another portrait by Reynolds is one of the 

 group of seven members of the Dilettanti Society. 



George Dance painted Banks as in later middle life ; 

 as also did Garrard, whose picture is said to be a very 

 good likeness. Sir Thomas Lawrence made a crayon 

 drawing of Banks, now in the National Portrait Gallery. 

 Thomas Phillips produced several portraits. One of these 

 is the property of the Royal Society, another hangs in the 

 National Portrait Gallery, a third in the Boston Town 

 Hall, and one (painted in the last year of Sir Joseph's 

 life) belongs to the Royal Horticultural Society. John 

 Russell made a crayon drawing, which was engraved 

 more than once. 



The marble statue by Chantrey, which stood for many 

 years in the Entrance Hall of the British Museum, has 

 been removed to the Natural History Department in 

 Cromwell Road. In the opinion of Sir Henry Ellis, this 

 statue offered by far the best picture of Banks. There are 

 busts in the Natural History Museum, in the laboratory 

 at Chelsea Gardens, and in the Banksian Library at 

 Bloomsbury. This last is by Mrs. Darner, presented by 

 her to the Museum in 1814. There is also a medallion 

 portrait by Pistrucci, chief engraver at the Mint (Egerton 

 MSS., 2851).
