repeat of my e-mail to ArtGallery@Wolverhampton.gov.uk
Hello
For many years I have been researching Dr John Fraser of Wolverhampton as Hull University has his plant collection. Although we were the first herbarium in the world to provide an on-line search to the catalogue I have never been able to find an image of the man to put on the website. My interest in this great man was re-ignited last week after I was contacted by his great-great-granddaughter and I thought that I’d have another search around.
I was pleased to note that you have a picture of him on your web page at
http://geologymatters.org.uk/collectors/
and wondered whether it would be OK to use (with suitable acknowledgement) a copy on my biography page at
http://www.herb.hull.ac.uk/fraser.htm
I assume that the image shows him in his uniform as the Honorary Surgeon to the 4th Staffordshire Volunteers? 1892? Do you know of any other pictures of him?
Regards,
Richard Middleton
