It’s International Women’s Day! We’re joining the Biodiversity Heritage Library in celebrating women in natural history by featuring the work of artist Else Bostelmann.
From 1929 to 1934, Bostelmann served as a member of WCS’s Department of Tropical Research staff. Using her artist’s skills, she brought to life the incredible marine creatures the DTR explored in the deep seas around Bermuda. Some of her work was featured in National Geographic, making visible for the first time these never-before-seen species.
