The front porch of the Thomas Jefferson Fitzpatrick house
Fitzpatrick Collection, Robert Vosper, botany, KU, libraries, Nebraska (Lincoln)
Thomas Jefferson Fitzpatrick, professor of botany at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, left his wife a thirteen-room house and small bungalow filled to the rafters with books upon his death. When Robert Vosper heard of the sale, he and several assistants literally mined the house and transported three five-ton truck loads of books on the history of science, especially American botany.
Robert Vosper is seated, smoking a pipe, his wife (Loraine) is seated on the arm of his chair, looking at what he is reading. His son (Stephen) stands next to them, while his three daughters (Ingrid, Kathryn, Elinor) are seated in front of him, one reading and one on the telephone.
