Drawn as part of the research for Louis Agassiz's 'Recherches sur les Poissons Fossiles' (1833-1843) but generally not published. Note: there are a small number of drawings which were in fact included in the final published work but they remain in this series as this was the accession as given by Agassiz. |
Arrangement | The items' numbering is sequential but the drawings are contained in specific folders indicating genus. This information will be added to the Provenance field. |
