Series 5: Illustrations, 1876-1930

 Series

Scope and Contents

This series consists of lithographs, line drawings and photographs. All are illustrations which accompany published contributions although the exact titles are not always specified. Among the more interesting are what appear to be the original plates from Leo Lesquereux’s work on Fossil Flora of the Western Territories for the U. S. G. S. (1878) & (1883). It is possible that Hollick did the drawings. Other illustrations are an extensive group of line drawings illustrating Liriodendra. Photographs from his work and that of others, esp. “Upper Cretaceous Flora of Alaska” are here--cut up, pasted onto cards and organized into a reference file. Oversized illustrations are located in Box 5.
