About This Item
One of a very few copies of the RARE separate large paper copies, issued in parts, published by Eli French.
Inscribed and signed in ink by Robert L. Stuart, whose collection is here listed, to the publisher Eli French.
The New York businessman and philanthropist Robert Leighton Stuart (1806-1882) co-owned the New York sugar refining business R.L. & A. Stuart. A philanthropist, he was one of the founders of the American Museum of Natural History and served as its president from 1872 to 1881. Labor relations at the brothers' business were so good that workers showed up to protect the factories during the 1863 New York City Draft Riots. Throughout his lifetime, Robert Stuart amassed a substantial collection which included 11,888 books, 1,963 pamphlets and 240 paintings as well as natural history artifacts.
