Deborah Griscom Passmore - one of the most prolific artists of USDA

Collection Highlights Deborah Griscom Passmore watercolor album Wildflowers of America, 1911 Deborah Griscom Passmore (1840-1911), a professionally trained artist and teacher, worked 19 years for the U.S. Department Agriculture, Division of Pomology. She became the leader of the division's staff artists in 1892, her first year with the Department, and went on to paint thousands of pomological watercolors. Passmore also painted in her personal time, which is evident in her unpublished work Wildflowers of America. She signed many of the watercolors and Edward Lee Greene, a well-known botanist, added scientific names. The album was donated to the National Agricultural Library in 1924 and is part of Special Collections. Enjoy Passmore's stunning wildflower watercolors.
