» Dick (John Henry) paintings and drawings, circa 1940-1985

Dick’s artwork includes 35 framed paintings, approx. 200 mounted paintings, and approx. 500 pen-and-ink drawings. Most of the paintings and drawings were prepared for publication on the basis of field observations, color photographs taken with telephoto lense, and bird skins which Dick collected and stored at Dixie Plantation in Megget (SC), borrowed from the American Museum of Natural History, or studied in other museums such as the museum of the Bombay Natural History Society (which houses his paintings of Indian birds).
