About the Franklin B. Lord Fishing and Hunting Collection

Franklin B. Lord, a lawyer, was born circa 1911 and died on February, 5, 1971 at the age of 59. He was an avid fisherman and had an active interest in the training of hunting dogs. Graduating from the University of Virginia Law School, he joined his family's law firm of Lord, Day and Lord in 1936. He was in the United States Navy from 1942 to 1945, and was discharged as a lieutenant commander. Returning to his law firm, Mr. Lord eventually retired in 1963. He was a trustee of Long Island University from 1955 to 1966. Franklin B. Lord's bequest is a sports collection almost completely dedicated to fishing and hunting.

Sherman Foote Denton (1856-1937)

Yellow or Barred Perch (Perca Americana), painted by Sherman Foote Denton

The State of New York Fisheries, Game and Forest Commission hired Sherman Foote Denton to illustrate their annual reports from 1895-1907. Denton painted more than 100 hundred wildlife watercolors for the Commission. Through his artistry and with a focus on coloration, his wildlife creatures come alive on the page. These illustrations are memorialized in vivid chromolighograph format with these publications. His artistic accomplishments set the bar for all future wildlife artists, most notably in the area of fish recreations. He sought to capture the true color of live fish scales before they fade when dry. Admired for more than 100 years, these specific detailed artworks document a range of species of North American fish, birds, moose, deer, and bear. Today, Rare Print Sellers often sell these original Denton prints individually. Thanks to the Franklin B. Lord Family's bequest to LIU of the Franklin B. Lord Hunting and Fishing Collection, we are fortunate to house all 100 of these original prints produced by the New York State Fisheries, Game and Forest Commission of 1902. They are available in Archives and Special Collections for viewing and research purposes.

Sherman Denton had an unconventional childhood. From an early age, he traveled extensively, including a trip with his brothers to the Western United States and later with his geologist father on an expedition to Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea. A naturalist, geologist and artist in training, he sketched and brought back many wildlife specimens. He grew to become the leading maker of fish models for collectors and museums such as the Smithsonian, the Field Museum in Chicago and the Agassiz Museum at Harvard. Beyond his accomplishments as a naturalist, geologist, traveler and artist, he was a collector. Among his many collecting interests, he reportedly owned a significant gem collection and the largest fresh water pearl collection in the United States.

Sherman was born in Dayton, Ohio to William and Elizabeth Foote Denton. His family, who were avid naturalists, moved to Wellesley, Massachusetts when he was a boy in the 1860s. Sherman Foote Denton's entire archive is housed at the Wellesley Historical Society in Wellesley, Massachusetts.

For further information about Denton, you may contact Ms. Taylor Kalloch, Archivist and Collections Manager at the Wellesley Historical Society where Sherman's entire archives are housed.
