2 5 6 PORTRAITS OF LINNAEUS. 
Among the Swedish engravings of Linnaeus, we ought also to no- 
tice one, done by Ackermann, in quarto, and another in oQavo by 
Snack, in form of a medallion. 
There is likewise a portrait of Linn^us in the first number of 
Schwederus’s Colletticn des Portraits des Swedois celebres, published 
at Stockholm in 1778. 
Representations of Linn.eus appeared, by the celebrated artist 
Archeveque at Pan's, on a large medallion in form of an 
antique; and at London by Wedgwood and Bentley likewise on a 
valuable medallion. In the latter the profile of Linnaeus is white on 
a blue ground, with the Linncca on his breast. — There is farther, a 
beautiful likeness of Linnteus prefixed to Mille’s Illustration of the 
Linn a; an System. One of the finest and most excellent portraits of 
Linn/eus is that which has been painted by the celebrated Swedish 
artist, Roslin and engraved by Messrs. Facius. LinnjEus is there 
represented in the decline of life. This portrait bears the following in- 
scription :

Engraved from the original pi&ure in the possession of Sir Joseph 
Banks, Bart. Published June 24, 1788, by John and Josiah Boy- 
dell, London. 
From Ackermann’s original painting, several impressions of 
Linnaeus have been formed in plaster of Paris. One engraved by 
Endner at Leipsic, is particularly remarkable. But were we to 
mention the different portraits of Linnaeus, prefixed to the many 
editions
