Lithograph on octagonal chine collé. Sheet: 615 x 445mm (24¼ x 17½"), very large margins. Some foxing across the sheet. Small repaired tear in the top edge.
A half length portrait of Dr. John Lindley (1799-1865), a notable botanist, gardener and orchidologist. A chance connection with Sir Joseph Banks that saw Lindley employed as an assistant in his herbarium provided the ideal beginning to what would become a successful career in botany and horticulture. Despite his family not being able to afford to send him to university, Lindley's research and publications, which he illustrated himself, earned him such high esteem that he was appointed professor of Botany at the new London University in 1829. He held this position alongside his post as the Assistant Secretary of the Royal Horticultural Society's garden. His magum opus 'The Genera and Species of Orchidaceous Plants' led to his recognition as the leading authority on the orchid plant species. This protrait is from the Ipswich Museum Portraits series published by George Ransom in 1852: the sixty portraits of distinguished men of science were commissioned to commemorate the foundation of the museum in 1846.

[Linlithgow Castle.] 66. [Linlithgow Palace is a fine example of a fortified palace, with a most attractive inner quadrangle, which dates from the 14th century. It was destroyed by fire in 1746, and since then has remained roofless. The Palace was for many years a favourite seat of Scottish royalty. Prince Charles was entertained here in 1745, and James IV., James V. and Mary of Guise held court, and Parliamentes and Councils sat here. The quadrangle contains a richly sculptured fountain built by James V. On one side of the building is the Great Hall, with its finely carved fireplace and a minstrel's gallery. In the Royal Apartments, were born James V. (1512) and Mary, Queen of Scots (1542). Although largely in ruins to-day, the Castle, situated as it is almost surrounded by the Loch, is an imposing and impressive building.]
