The Taylor White Collection
The watercolour painting of the Puffin comes from the 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 Puffin was one of the watercolour paintings, which resulted from the collaboration between White and Collins.
Taylor White, a barrister by profession, 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 Fellow of The Royal Society and founding Treasurer of The Foundling Hospital in London.
The original watercolour of the Puffin is extremely finely painted, with great detail being seen in all of the details of the painting. This depth of colour and detail has been captured brilliantly through the digitalisation process and is replicated for you on this delightful journal.
The Atlantic Puffin
The Atlantic Puffin (Scientific name: Fratercula arctica) is to be found in the North Atlantic Ocean and is one of three species of Puffin. The Puffin breeds on cliffs or islands in large colonies and feeds by diving into the sea.
The Puffin has black and white plumage and a large colourful beak in the breeding season. Once the breeding season is over, the coloured parts of the beak are shed. Due to its features, the Puffin is an endearing bird to humans. Indeed, the "Fratercula" part of the scientific name means "little brother" in Latin - a reference to the black and white feathers, which are not dissimilar to monastic garments!
