(Neriglissar), King of Babylon, 562 B.C., and dated in the second year of his reign, or in 560 B.C.; 2.) Found at Warka, a
contract tablet bearing the name of Nabonidus, the last Semitic king of Babylon, 556-538 B.C., and the father of the Biblical
Belshazzar, dated in the seventh year of his reign, 549 B.C.; 3.) Found at Warka, a contract tablet bearing the name of Cyrus,

at Warka, a contract tablet bearing the name of Cambyses, son of Cyrus, King of Babylon, 529-522 B.C., and dated in the second
year of his reign, 527 B.C.; 5.) From Drehem, the tablet was first written and then sealed with a cylindrical seal to prevent
any alteration in the writing; 6.) From Drehem, a list of objects presented to the temple; 7.) From Drehem, it is a part of
the temple records of that city and related to objects presented to the temple for sacrificial purposes, it comes from one
of the early kings of the Ur dynasty; 8.) From the temple at Johka, a part of the temple records, it is dated on the bottom
edge. The other tablets are as of now undeciphered, but still form an interesting record of a vanished culture.

Botanical and Natural History Print Collection

Creator: |
Audubon, John James, 1785-1851 |
|
| |
Dates: |
1840-1849 |
|
| |
Contents: |
The collection consists of approximately 400 original color prints by a number of important 19th century naturalists. The
majority of the collection comes from John James Audubon's The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America and Pierre-Joseph Redoutés
Les Liliacées, Les Roses and "Choix des plus Belles Fleurs," as well as several prints from M.A. Burnett's Plantae Utiliores,
or Illustrations of Useful Plants, Employed in the Arts and Medicine, Part III. The collection also includes a Currier and
Ives print and a handful of botanical and natural themed prints by other artists including Wilkes, Curtis, and Gould. In addition
are over a dozen reference books, highlighting eight natural history reference books, many of which contain published copies
of the originals in the collection.
Though the prints originate from published works, none of the works represented here have a complete set of plates. For example,
in Series 3 Prints from Redoute's Les Liliaces, there are only a scant few prints from Volume 1, whereas the collection holds
many more plates from Les Liliaces Volume 8, if still not all of them. In several cases there are duplicate copies of identical
prints; this has been noted in the listing where it occurs.
