Biography
Print publisher (not a bookseller) working at the Three Black Birds in Cannon Street. He published several new plates. A fine engraving by David Loggan of the Duke of Albemarle is dated 1661, and another by him of Catherine of Braganza followed in 1663. Another member of the royal family, the Duke of York, was engraved by James Gammon (undated, but early 1660s).
Collings also reprinted various old plates: William I (Hind II 121.1A, originally published by Compton Holland), and a set of the 12 Months in roundels (Griffiths p.312), originally published by Thomas Johnson. He collaborated with Stent in three plates (or sold them to Stent) between 1660 and 1664 (see Globe p.213)." - https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/term/BIOG168528
