Henry Wood Elliott (November 13, 1846 – May 25, 1930) was an American watercolor painter, author, and environmentalist whose work primarily focused on Alaskan subjects. A number of his works have an ethnographic bent, displaying aboriginal Alaskans engaging in traditional practices; some of these works are stored in the National Anthropological Archives at the Smithsonian. Elliott also focused on the Alaskan landscape and wildlife.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Henry Wood Elliott: An American Artist in Alaska )〕 In 1886, Elliott published a book entitled ''Our Arctic Province: Alaska and the Seal Islands'', which contains an in-depth exploration of Alaska's history, geography, people, and wildlife. He became involved in early conservation efforts of the fur seal, in 1905 co-authoring a document with United States Secretary of State John Hay that would eventually become the North Pacific Fur Seal Convention of 1911, the first international treaty dedicated to the conservation of wildlife.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=North Pacific Fur Seal Treaty of 1911 )〕 ==Gallery== Pacific Walrus by Elliot.jpg|Pacific Walrus, 5 July 1872 Beluga caza.jpg|Hunting a Beluga whale 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Wood Elliott」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
