The Taylor White Collection

The watercolour painting of the Robins 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 Robins 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 Robins 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 Robin

The Robin (Scientific name: Erithacus rubecula melophilus) can be found fluttering its wings throughout Europe, central Asia, northern Africa and the Middle East. But it's not just its broad geographic range that makes the Robin a fascinating bird.

In fact, it has a special place in British culture, where it's often called the British Red Breast and has become synonymous with Christmas. You'll find it featured on many a holiday card, singing carols and perched on snow-covered branches.

And if you're a gardener, you'll be pleased to know that the Robin is a faithful companion, always ready to lend a helping beak in your backyard. They'll often flit close to where you're working, waiting for you to move on so they can swoop in and grab a tasty worm or bug for their next meal.

So whether you're looking for a festive symbol of the holidays or a helpful winged assistant in your garden, the Robin is the bird for you. Keep your eyes peeled for this feathered friend and enjoy its charming company!
