The Taylor White Collection
The watercolour painting of the Puffins 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 Puffins 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 Puffins 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 one of three captivating Puffin species that call the North Atlantic their home. These charming seabirds know how to pick their real estate, favouring cliffs and islands for their large, bustling colonies. Always up for some action, Puffins expertly plunge into the sea to catch a bite, turning the waters into their personal dining room.
But what really sets the Puffin apart is its fashion-forward wardrobe. With black and white plumage that contrasts beautifully against their vivid beaks, these birds are dressed to impress during the breeding season. And speaking of their beaks, these colourful accessories are more than just eye-catching - they're also practical! Once the breeding season ends, Puffins shed the bright portions, streamlining their look for the off-season.
The Puffin's scientific name, Fratercula, translates to "little brother" in Latin, nodding to their monochrome feathers that resemble the garments of a monk. So, next time you're exploring the stunning North Atlantic coastline, keep an eye out for these charismatic seabirds - the one and only Puffin!
