Fish Management in New York State

Most of these images originated from artwork produced from 1926 through 1939 by two artists, Ellen Edmondson and Hugh H. Chrisp. Their work was sponsored by the New York Department of Conservation, as part of comprehensive biological surveys of biota throughout all New York watersheds. 

Both artists performed preparatory studies of color, posture, and form using living fish observed under daylight, usually at the capture site.
