Sir Joseph Banks, Bt NPG 5868

by Sir Joshua Reynolds
Banks sat to Reynolds in 1772 and again, after his voyage to Iceland, in 1773, and the freestanding globe in this portrait refers to his travels in search of botanical studies. The inscription on the letter reads Cras Ingens iterabimus aequor, which may be translated as 'tomorrow we'll sail the vast deep again'.
