Alas! I wondered where he had gotten.
« on: December 23, 2003, 07:40:25 AM »
While viewing 1841 PT I noticed a large portrait over the drawing room fireplace of a landscape... and wondered where Isaac Collins had gone, I thought he would be placed in the same place no matter which place in time it was, after all he was the founding father of all those who were and are Collins.

Then at last I found him, watching over Bramwell and Daphne from above the Old House fireplace.. perhaps in PT that was as far as he was thought he should go.

Is that Isaac over the fireplace?I've been rewatching from the very begining , and several times they say it's Jeremiah.In the early episodes they also make it very clear that the family is descended from Jeremiah and Josette.David even refers to Josette as great grandmother.It's easy to ignore this as  David being confused .off topic here but did that kid need ridilin (sp?) or what ?

Hello fellow portrait spotters! It's supposed to be Jeremiah Collins over the fireplace, as identified all the way back in episode 2. This despite the fact that the man in question looks nothing like Anthony George. Originally, it was said that Jeremiah built Collinwood in 1830, and that he was Elizabeth's great grandfather.

Post-1795 they had to alter this since Jeremiah died without fathering any children and Collinwood was built in 1795 instead of 1830.

Isaac's picture (in real time) hung to the left of the piano in the drawing room. He was said to be the first Collins in Collinsport, in 1690.
