Professor Robert Ridgway, the curator, long worked there, while at the present writing it is occupied by the assistant curator, Dr. Charles W. Richmond; Mr. J. H. Riley, his assistant, and Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, the ornithologist, who is the custodian of the Section of Birds' Eggs. Hanging to one side on the otherwise bare north wall of this room there is a life-size oil painting, with a rather deep, old-fashioned gilt frame, of Dr. Elliott Coues, famous for his work in ornithology, and the author of a long list of other writings in various departments of science and general literature. Several years ago I made an attempt to discover the history of this painting, but no one seemed to know how long it had hung there; who hung it there; who painted it, or where it came from. On the twenty-third of October, 1920, by the kind permission of Dr. Richmond, I was permitted to take the picture down. Upon turning it about, I found inscribed upon its back that it was painted by one J. E. Barclay, in 1898, but no other history; and no one seemed to have any knowledge as to who Mr. Barclay was. I am sure I do not, although I have made hundreds of visits to the building since it was built, and, indeed, have shot over the ground where it now stands. |
