Journal Article
Scandal lost and name regained
2019
Overview
Simons reflects on the stay of naturalist and writer Thomas Pennant at Gothurst House in Buckingshire, England that was once occupied by the Digbys. He mentions that Pennant engaged in a scandal after he mis-identify the portraits of Sir Kenelm Digby despite the name John Digby which is written on the reverse. The subject was given the same erroneous name in a watercolour record of the painting, executed around 1806-22 and it thus remains mis-identified in the catalogue of its repository. Finally, a version of the painting itself survives Everard Digby. He notes that Pennant's thoughts on the painting were read widely and circulated broadly, repeated verbatim but in shorter form in 1801.
