EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the prestigious Banks Prize awarded to Charles Hampden Turner by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1822. The photograph, taken by an English School artist from the 19th century, is a part of the Timothy Millett Collection. The image captures a metal medal with intricate inscriptions and engravings. It was presented to Turner for his remarkable achievement of introducing wisteria (Glycine sinensis) to Britain. This exquisite flowering plant was brought all the way from China through the East India Company, marking a significant botanical milestone. In this portrait, we see Sir Joseph Banks, an eminent English naturalist who played a pivotal role in promoting scientific exploration and discovery during his time. His profile is beautifully depicted on one side of the medal, showcasing his dedication to botany and horticulture. The photograph not only highlights Turner's accomplishment but also pays homage to Banks' influential contributions in advancing our understanding of plants and their cultivation. Through this stunning image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the invaluable impact that these pioneering botanists have had on our world today.
