THE WHITE BASS

PENNSYLVANIA REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF FISHERIES 1903 These very beautiful chromolithographs by Sherman Denton are from the Annual Report of Fisheries of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 1895 – 1905 Sherman Foote Denton, [1856 -1937], born in Massachusetts, was only 3 years-old when began to paint and study fish. This early attraction developed in later years to Denton revolutionising the way fish were mounted and preserved to retain their original vibrant colours. As part of this process, he produced watercolour paintings of the fish he collected from all over the world.
