Show moreThe Ernest Clayton Collection of California Wild Flowers consists of 200 watercolors painted between the years 1942 and 1952 by Ernest Clayton. The San Francisco Public Library purchased the first set of watercolors in the mid-1940s. Clayton continued adding to the collection through 1952. Mr. John Thomas Howell, a botanist at the California Academy of Sciences, facilitated the purchase. The watercolors are painted on white paper mounted on black board. The paper measures 9 ½” x 4 ½” to 10 ¼” x 5 ¼” and the black boards measure 12” x 7”. The artist signed the watercolors in pencil as “E. Clayton” along the bottoms of the stem or leaf. Clayton penciled the common name and botanical name, the number of the watercolor in the series and, frequently, the year the watercolor was completed.
