Hood Fitch 1817-1892. 8-3/4" x 5-1/4" <br/><br/>Walter Fitch was a botanical illustrator from Scotland. Fitch's illustration have appeared in Curtis's Botanical Magazine most publications issued by Royal Botanical Gardens Kew George Bentham's 'Handbook of the British Flora' James Bateman's "A Monograph of Odontoglossum" and William Hooker's "A century of Orchidaceous Plants". "Fitch was made a fellow of the Linnean Society in 1857." wiki. The previous owner inscription reads "Skipper Kent 1953". Skipper Kent was a restauranteur in the San Francisco Bay Area owning Zombie Village in Oakland and Skipper Kent's in San Francisco. These "tiki" inspired restaurants were his pride and joy as he was already and avid collector of Polynesian art and artifacts. Kent was also an avid orchid collector so we suspect this was in his library at one time with his interest in botany. The embossed library stamp comes from the library of Herman Knoche 1870-1945. Knoche was born in San Jose California and studied botany at Stanford University. He moved to France to further his studies at University of Montpellier; his particular interest was island vegetation.
