Henry Wood Elliott is best known as the savior of Alaska's fur seal population, but he was also one of the finest watercolorists to work in the Territory. A Cleveland native, Elliott first visited Alaska in 1867 with the Western Union Telegraph Survey, just two years before serving as official artist for F.V. Hayden's U.S. Geological Survey expedition to the western United States.
He was sent north again in 1872 as U.S. Treasury Agent supervising the Alaska Commercial Company's mana (showing 500 of 1382 characters). |
