EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures Sir Martin Lister (1603-1667), the father of the renowned English naturalist, Martin Lister. The photograph, taken around 1670, offers a glimpse into the life of this influential figure during the late 17th century. Sir Martin is depicted in a formal attire, donning a ruff collar, lacy cuffs, and tasseled gloves, reflecting the fashionable dress of the era. His serious expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of authority and intelligence. Sir Martin Lister was a prominent antiquary, topographer, and physician in Yorkshire, England. He was a fellow of the Royal Society and a correspondent of many other learned societies. His extensive knowledge and expertise in natural history were passed down to his son, Martin Lister (1639-1712), who is best known for his work on the natural history of Yorkshire and his contributions to the study of entomology. The father-son duo shared a deep interest in the natural world and collaborated on several projects. Sir Martin's extensive collection of specimens and records played a significant role in shaping his son's work and furthering the field of natural history. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of natural history in England and the enduring legacy of the Lister family's contributions to the scientific community. The intricate details of Sir Martin's attire, from his ruff collar to his tasseled gloves, serve as a reminder of the elegance and sophistication of the era in which he lived. This image offers a unique window into the past, providing a glimpse into the life of a man who played a crucial role in shaping the future of natural history.
