Blake, James Henry, 1845-1941

Blake studied under Louis Agassiz at the Lawrence Scientific School beginning in 1864 and three years later was hired as a student-assistant at the Museum of Comparative Zoology to help Agassiz organize the Thayer Expedition collections. By 1868 he was working in the MCZ's Conchology Department, drawing anatomical features of freshwater mollusks, and later served as zoological artist on the Hassler Expedition (1871-1872).
