Pencil and ink drawings, 178 of which depict birds and 82 of which depict mammals
and reptiles, by Louis Agassiz Fuertes. Drawings vary in size from 4" x 5" to 8" x
10". All bear Fuertes' initials; many also have notes in his hand, in pencil or ink,
naming the bird, reptile or mammal depicted in the drawing. Items were originally
used in Field Book of Nature Study and other publications by E. Laurence Palmer.
The Louis Agassiz Fuertes papers, 1892-1954, 1892-1927 (bulk) #2662, contains an extensive collection of Fuertes' writings, photography, and artwork.
The Louis Agassiz Fuertes Ornithological Artwork database is a searchable database of 2500 ornithological illustrations by Fuertes.
These illustrations have been drawn from Cornell's H.F. Johnson Museum, its Laboratory
of Ornithology, as well as the Palmer Collection and the Fuertes papers at the Division
of Rare and Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library.
The Harriman Alaska Expedition Journal provides both a transcription and digitized copy of a personal journal kept by Fuertes
during an 1899 scientific expedition along the Alaskan coast.
See also the Library of Congress exhibit The Harriman Alaska Expedition: Chronicles and Souvenirs May to August 1899, a private souvenir album created collectively by the members of the Alaskan expedition.
