About the artist
John Paul Wellington Furse CB, OBE, VMH (13 October 1904 – 8 October 1978) was not only a distinguished Rear-Admiral in the English Navy but also a painter and botanical illustrator. After retiring from his service, he and his wife embarked on plant hunting adventures for the Royal Horticultural Society.
Their explorations were featured in the Royal Horticultural Society's journal. Furthermore, Furse's meticulous field notes, his vibrant botanical paintings, personal letters and a collection of over 700 illustrations are well-preserved at Kew.
