In the Author's Hand

Description

This close-up of the inscription found within Richardson’s Notice of the Fishes is addressed to “Dr. Greville.” This Dr. Greville is likely Robert Kaye Greville (1794–1866), an English natural historian who specialized in mycology and botany. Greville’s herbarium included some specimens from Arctic expeditions, and Richardson and Greville were known correspondents.
