John Torrey Papers, 1788-1871 (bulk 1806-1871)

Title: John Torrey Papers, 1788-1871 (bulk 1806-1871)

The collection consists of correspondence, both incoming and outgoing, from 1818 to 1873, and pertains to Torrey's work as a botanist and professor. Much of the scientific correspondence is in regard to the identification of plants from the vast interior of the continent through government sponsored expeditions, primarily John Fremont's second and third expeditions to the Rocky Mountains in 1842 and to Oregon and northern California in 1843. The collection contains plant lists and collecting localities as well as botanical notes and plant descriptions from Asa Gray and John Torrey. A collection of letters to and from individuals other than John Torrey, (some of which pre-date Torrey's birth) are also contained in the collection. It is not clear how Torrey came to possess these letters. Manuscripts of Torrey's Florula Princetoniana and Calendarium florae for the vicinity of New York have been cataloged and reside in the Rare Book Room. The collection also contains some artwork drawn by John Torrey himself, and other drawings he used as a reference for his identification work. The artwork from Torrey's Plants of New York for the Cabinet at Albany and Genera of Fungi were drawn by John Torrey. Other drawings include "'Figures of Hepaticae' copied from Hooker's great work", Musci exotici. The artwork has been removed to the New York Botanical Garden Art and Illustration collection - Collection #60. John Torrey's vasculum is also contained within the collection.
