The Taylor White Collection's 18th Century Watercolour Painting of The Nuthatch
Our Nuthatch journal / notebook comes from the original collection of Taylor White F.R.S. (1701-1772). In the mid-18th Century, White commissioned the celebrated wildlife painter, Charles Collins (c.1680 - 1744) to paint a number of specimens for his collection. The watercolour painting of the Nuthatch was one of these masterpieces, which emerged from the collaboration between White and Collins.
The original watercolour of the Nuthatch is extremely finely painted, with incredible detail, allowing you to see the Nuthatch's plumage and features in stunning clarity. This depth of colour and detail has been captured brilliantly through the digitalisation process and is replicated for you on this delightful journal / notebook, which is now available for you to enjoy for noting down your thoughts, ideas, sketches, doodles, or to buy as a thoughtful gift for your friends and family.
Taylor White, a barrister by profession and landowner on the Nottinghamshire / Yorkshire border, was a keen naturalist and collector. He commissioned over 900 paintings of birds, mammals, reptiles and fish from the finest painters of his day. He was a governor and the founding Treasurer of The Foundling Hospital in London, as well as being a Fellow of The Royal Society. He was extremely well-connected in Society, which enabled him to create such a world-class collections of specimen and thus paintings. White's father in-law was Major-General John Armstrong, who as Surveyor-General of the Ordnance, Chief Royal Engineer and Quartermaster-General to the Forces, has his offices in The Tower of London. Consequently, Taylor White had access to the birds and beasts of The Royal Menagerie at the Tower. He also was able to borrow specimen from The British Museum. Some rarer and more exotic specimens were brought back from their great travels across the globe by his Royal Society friends, the naturalist Sir Joseph Banks, Bt. and the famous clockmaker, John Harrison.
The Eurasian Nuthatch
The Eurasian Nuthatch (Scientific name: sitta europaea) might be a tiny creature, but it boasts an impressive geographical range, from Europe and Turkey to Iran, Mongolia, central China, eastern Russia, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. If you're in England or Wales, keep an eye out for these local residents, as they're known to stick around their woodland homes year-round.
Picture a plump, adorable version of the Great Tit, and you've got the Nuthatch! This little bird might resemble a miniature woodpecker, but it has a few unique features that set it apart. Sporting a striking black stripe on its head, a long pointed bill, and short legs, the Nuthatch is an easy one to spot.
These crafty avians are real estate experts, building their nests in tree holes or walls and fortifying them with mud and resin to deter pesky predators. And they're quite resourceful, too! Nuthatches love using bark as a tool during nest construction, and they'll even carry their favorite pieces with them as a prized possession.
But wait, there's more! Nuthatches defy gravity, showcasing their incredible acrobatic skills by climbing both up and down trees – and yes, even upside down on branches! These agile birds have a varied diet, munching on insects during the summer months and switching to nuts and berries in the winter. To keep their food stash safe, they'll cleverly hide it away under moss, bark, or lichen. Talk about forward-thinking!
