Miller. De la société Royale de Londres. De l'Academie des Botanistes de florence et Directeur du Jardin de Botanique Des Apothicaires de Chelsea.
C.F. Maillet, fecit 1787.
Engraving. Plate: 250 x 175mm (9¾ x 7''). Trimmed to plate on top edge, ink marks from verso in French. Small margins on 3 sides.
Half-length profile portrait of a man facing right, wearing a queue wig, an open jacket, and an embroidered waistcoat. The figure is set within an oval frame, surrounded by foliage and a garden wall. This engraving was intended to depict the botanist Philip Miller (1691–1771) and was created by C.J. Maillet for the posthumous 1787 French edition of Miller’s Gardeners Dictionary. However, the image is a case of mistaken identity; it is actually a self-portrait of John Miller (1715–c.1792), also known as Johann Sebastian Müller, a German engraver and botanist active in London. Philip Miller was the chief gardener of the Chelsea Physic Garden from 1722 until shortly before his death and a Fellow of the Royal Society. Despite the misidentification, the two Millers did collaborate at the Chelsea garden for a period.

He returned to Europe in 1826 but returned to Peru, settling in Lima. He was made British consul-general to the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1843. He died in Callao: in the 1920s his body was transferred to the Panteon de los Proceres, the final resting place for the heroes of the War of Independence. His brother John wrote a two-volume biography which was published 1828-9. This portrait replaced the original frontispiece of the 1828 first volume when it was reissued with the second volume

William Miller (1795-1861), army officer, who served in the Peninsular Wars, America, and in the struggle for Chilean independence. He became a close friend of Simón Bolívar and repeatedly distinguished himself in Chile and Peru before returning to Europe in 1826. The Spanish-language publication line on this print suggests that although produced in London it was distributed to capitalise on Miller's celebrity in South America (it was also used to illustrate Miller's 'Memoirs'). Miller later returned to Peru and was made British consul-general in the Pacific, dying in Callao.

Robert Milligan (1746 -1809), a prominent English merchant and ship-owner, was the driving force behind the construction of the West India Docks in London. Outraged at losses due to theft and delay at London's riverside wharves, Milligan promoted the creation of a wet dock circled by a high wall. His group planned and built the Docks, lobbying parliament to allow the creation of a West India Dock Company, of which Milligan served as both Deputy Chairman ( the first ) and Chairman.

Portrait of Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton (1809 - 1885), politician and poet. While at Trinity College, Cambridge, Milnes joined the progressive Apostles Club, which included the poets Alfred Tennyson and Arthur Henry Hallam. Milnes entered Parliament as an MP in 1837 and was actively involved in issues of copyright and the establishment of juvenile reformatories. He was made a peer in 1863. His early poetry led many to regard him as one of the most promising writers of his generation, but he is better remembered as an influential member of literary society and as a patron of writers. He published the Life, Letters, and Literary Remains of John Keats (1848), secured a pension for Tennyson and was an early champion of the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne. From a series of portraits by Count Alfred Guillaume Gabriel d'Orsay (1801 - 1852), Paris-born artist and gentleman of fashion. His profile sketches of his contemporaries, to the number of 125, include among them nearly all the literary, artistic, and fashionable celebrities of that time.
