The Taylor White Collection's 18th Century Watercolour Painting of The Wren
Our Wren 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 Wren was one of these masterpieces, which emerged from the collaboration between White and Collins.
The original watercolour of the Wren is extremely finely painted, with incredible detail, allowing you to see the Wren'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 Wren
The Eurasian Wren (Scientific name: Troglodytes troglodytes) may be small, but it's a force to be reckoned with, spreading its wings across Europe, central and northeastern Asia, and even North America. Despite facing challenges during frigid winters, this mighty little bird continues to be the most common breeding bird in the UK.
What's so special about this pint-sized powerhouse? For starters, the Wren is a master of making the most of its surroundings. With an uncanny knack for finding snug, cosy nesting spots, these petite birds can be found settling into cracks in walls, bushes, tree hollows, and even on the ground. Their architectural skills are on full display as they construct dome-shaped nests from moss and twigs – earning them their scientific name, Troglodytes troglodytes.
But the Wren's talents don't stop there! Boasting a beautiful brown plumage, it's easily recognized by its small stature and distinct, cocked tail. However, the Wren's true claim to fame is its captivating singing ability. These little virtuosos are known for their exceptional vocal range, even capable of singing two notes simultaneously. As early risers, they'll often kick off the dawn chorus, serenading the world with their enchanting melodies.
