EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of oval portraits of the renowned naturalists and collectors, John Tradescant the Elder and Younger, flanked by an intricately detailed image of their grave monument. The portraits, expertly engraved by John Thomas Smith from original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries, offer a glimpse into the lives of these fascinating figures. John Tradescant the Elder (1570-1638), a gardener and antiquarian, was an early collector of exotic plants and artifacts from around the world. His son, John Tradescant the Younger (1608-1662), continued his father's legacy as a collector and curator, amassing a vast array of natural history specimens and antiquities. The grave monument, depicted in the background, is located in the churchyard of St. Mary Lambeth in London. The Roman-inspired design features an urn atop a pedestal, surrounded by various symbols of natural history and antiquities, reflecting the Tradescants' passion for both fields. The print, taken from J.T. Smith's "Antiquities of London and its Environs," published in 1793 by J. Sewell, R. Folder, and J. Simco, offers a unique blend of history and architecture, transporting us back in time to the world of these remarkable collectors.
