EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Colin Milne, botanist. 1806" captures the essence of a remarkable man and his contributions to the world of science. The subject is none other than the Reverend Dr. Colin Milne, FRS, a Scottish priest, divine, and botanist who left an indelible mark on botanical studies. Rendered in exquisite detail by artist John Russell and handcolored by James Newton, this portrait showcases Dr. Milne's intellectual prowess and dedication to his craft. As the author of the Botanical Dictionary and a respected member of the scientific community during his lifetime (1743-1815), he made significant strides in advancing our understanding of plants. Dr. Milne's expertise shines through as he gazes confidently at us from within this print. His passion for botany is palpable; one can almost imagine him immersed in nature's wonders while meticulously documenting plant species or conducting experiments. The inclusion of this portrait in Dr. Robert John Thornton's New Illustration of the Sexual System of Carolus von Linnaeus speaks volumes about Dr. Milne's stature among his peers during that era. As we admire this artwork today, let us pay homage to not only Dr. Colin Milne but also to all those dedicated scientists who have shaped our understanding of the natural world throughout history—men and women like him who have devoted their lives to unraveling its mysteries for future generations' benefit.
