WCP770

From:
Alfred Russel Wallace
To:
George Albert Boulenger
Date:
9 November 1904
Source of text:
Natural History Museum, London: NHM Catkey-418906
Summary:

This letter is about the 200 or so drawings of fishes that ARW made while on the Rio Negro and its tributaries in the 1850s. ARW explains that the specimens were lost on the voyage home but that as the drawings are to scale and have descriptions and accompanying notes they might be useful to a student or to catalogue. He suggests they could be reproduced by photography and process-plate. ARW states he is reluctant to throw them away.

To:
Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer
Date:
19 November 1904
Source of text:
JDH/2/16 f.179, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH suspects that it was [William] Aiton & [Robert] who arranged the transfer of [Francis] Bauer's drawings to the Botanical Department of the British Museum. JDH recalls a Miss Alderson who was a frequent visitor to his Aunt Palgrave, JDH's cousins Francis Turner Palgrave & William Gifford Palgrave were both in love with her - 'the Passionate Pilgrim'. JDH has spent a month working on Impatiens balsamina, a native of the Devon peninsula which has many forms he is painstakingly dissecting in water & then mounting. He also mentions working hard on Madras [Chennai] herbarium specimens for which labour he could use the assistance of the drawings Harriet Thiselton-Dyer is doing. JDH thanks Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer for sending a photo of 'the house'. Despite having bandaged legs JDH has been to see the sketches from the British Antarctic Discover expedition , he declares them the best from any naval expedition & particularly praises the ornithological drawings of Dr [Edward Adrian] Wilson.
