Description
Part of: Cooper Ornithological Society records Illustration on page 37 of History of the C.O.S. by H. Swarth. A black-and-white historical illustration depicts a man and a bear in a wooded setting. In the upper right, a man in a light-colored, long-sleeved shirt and trousers is perched or leaning diagonally on a thick rope or ladder extending down to the right from a large tree, his body suspended above the ground. He grips loops of rope in his hands. Below him, in the center-left, a bear hangs from the rope apparently by its neck, with its hind legs a short distance from the ground and its forelegs extended out in front of its body. The background consists of a large, gnarled tree with dark foliage and a glimpse of a field in the distance. Below the illustration, printed text reads: "Grinnell gathers in the last of the grizzlies for the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology." To the left of the illustration, a vertical color calibration strip and a metric ruler are visible, used for archival documentation.
