Each Monday, sit back, relax, and ease into the work week with puzzles created from images in our collections that have been designated as open access. Anyone can now download, transform, share, and reuse these images as part of Smithsonian Open Access, launched in 2020.
July is National Watercolor Month, so we had to share this beauty by English artist Joseph Drayton. The illustrator accompanied a team of scientists and artist Alfred T. Agate on the the United States Exploring Expedition (1838-1842), during which he produced numerous drawings of fishes. Upon their return, Drayton helped supervise the illustrations and engraving work for a number of the scientific reports.
