John Heywood Hawkins

Also known as: John Heywood Hawkins; primary name: Hawkins, John Heywood
Details: individual; politician/statesman; collector; British; Male
Life dates: 1802/3-1877
Address: Bignor Park, Sussex
Biography: Major British print collector and member of Parliament; of Bignor Park, Sussex. Gave some prints in 1849. Part of collection in sale of prints and drawings, Sotheby's, 29.iv. -8.v.1850. Hawkins retained many of the rest. In 1854/5 he sold his Netherlandish prints to Colnaghi's who gave the first refusal to the BM (see 1855,0114.206 to 229, and 1855,0414.231 to 280, purchased for £508 1s). In 1857 he sold his early Italian prints to Colnaghi, who again gave the first refusal to the BM. Carpenter successfully asked the Trustees to purchase 58 for £450 (1858,0417.1571 to 1628). Hawkins sold a number of drawings directly to Sotheby's in 1861, whence the BM purchased 31. Others of his prints and drawings came to the BM later via other routes.
