The generous acceptance of the first seven numbers of MUSEUM PICTORIAL
convinced the Trustees of the Denver Museum of Natural History that the
publication is filling a definite need in the field of natural history
reports. The subjects are so varied that a wealth of material is
available.
The present issue is the first printed in color, and will, we hope, be
followed by others. The authors, Harold and Rhoda Roberts, probably are
the foremost photographers of wild flowers of Colorado and the
Southwest. This field work has carried them from the tops of the highest
mountains of Colorado to the depths of Death Valley. Their outstanding
Kodachrome slides have been shown to many audiences and have appeared in
publications. It is hoped that Museum Pictorial No. 8 will be the first
of a series on Colorado wild flowers by the authors, which may
eventually be compiled into book form.
Harold Roberts, prominent Denver attorney, is a Trustee of the Museum,
and chairman of its Building Committee.
