Painting Description
"Sir William Jackson Hooker (1785–1865)" is a lithograph portrait by Thomas Herbert Maguire, depicting the renowned British botanist and the first full-time director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Sir William Jackson Hooker. The portrait is part of a series of lithographs of scientists created by Maguire for the "Portraits of the Royal Society," which aimed to document the likenesses of notable members of the society. Sir William Jackson Hooker was a prominent figure in the field of botany during the 19th century, known for his extensive work in plant classification and taxonomy, as well as his leadership at Kew Gardens, where he significantly expanded the collections.
Maguire's lithograph captures Hooker in a pose reflective of his scholarly status, often portrayed with elements that allude to his scientific contributions and achievements. The artwork serves not only as a visual record of Hooker's appearance but also as a historical document that offers insight into the scientific community of the time. The lithograph is an important piece for historians of science and art, as it represents the intersection of portraiture and the documentation of scientific heritage. The exact date of the lithograph's creation is not specified, but it would have been produced during the lifetime of Sir William Jackson Hooker, who lived between 1785 and 1865, and likely during Maguire's active period as a lithographer for the Royal Society portraits in the mid-19th century.
