Here is Nathaniel Lord Britton, the first Director-in-Chief of The New York Botanical Garden, in a photograph taken in February 1905, in the Bahamas.
Britton was accompanied on this expedition by his wife Elizabeth Britton and Marshall Howe. They returned with about ten thousand specimens, as reported in the Notes, News and Comment section of the Journal of the New York Botanical Garden, March 1905, page 52.
Charles Millspaugh, Britton’s co-author on The Bahama Flora (1920), was also on the trip.
