Bermuda expeditions illustrations, 1929 - 1937
Scope and Contents
Between 1929 and 1940, the DTR made several expeditions to Bermuda (specifically in the years 1929-1935, 1937, 1939, and 1940). They conducted intensive ecological investigations within well-defined areas of deep-sea and shore zones and undertook record-breaking deep-sea explorations with a manned submersible called the Bathysphere. This subseries includes illustrations known to be by Else Bostelmann, E. J. Geske, Llewellyn Miller, George Swanson, and Helen Damrosch Tee-Van. Notable among this series are the works Bostelmann illustrated from Beebe’s descriptions of fish he observed from the Bathysphere; many of these were published in National Geographic Magazine. Some of the Bostelmann works in this subseries have been matted in various forms for exhibition.
