A WONDERFUL AND POSSIBLY UNIQUE COVER FROM THE 1897 THE WEBSTER-HARRIS EXPEDITION TO THE GALAPAGOS ISLAND.
In 1897, Walter Rothschild (2nd Baron Rothschild) approached Frank Blake Webster to organize a collecting trip on the Galapagos Islands. Webster gathered taxidermists and naturalists, including Rollo Beck, to collect Galapagos tortoises
and land birds. Webster, however, would state in the states, but the expedition is still called the Webster-Harris expedition by scholars. However, Webster's group discovered the flightless cormorant, which Rothschild named after taxidermist Charles
Miller Harris, a member of the expedition. (Image1)
