Title A name given to the resource As Issued in Wrappers Description An account of the resource William Harris’s The Fishes of North America That Are Captured on Hook and Line (1898) was a monumental undertaking. Harris reported traveling nearly 30,000 miles across North America with artist John L. Petrie, capturing and painting the “true to life” colours of fish immediately after they were removed from the water. In his advertisements for the book, Harris stated that up to 15 different lithographic stones were used to print the large plates and that the results were indistinguishable from an oil painting at a distance of 10 feet. The work was issued in 20 parts, each in wrappers, over the period of a few years, after which complete copies were available from Harris (who was also the publisher). Pictured here is a wrapper from Part III.
