LOUIS AGASSIZ.Signature: "Ls Agassiz", 3x2. Born in French-speaking Switzerland
and educated at European universities, Louis Agassiz (1807-1873) accepted a Professorship
at Harvard (1848) and spent the rest of his life promoting American science. He made
highly influential studies of fossil fish and glaciers, coining the term "Ice Age" to describe an
ancient era of extensive glaciation. Although his fossil studies were used by others to
support Darwin's Theory of Evolution, Agassiz never accepted that doctrine. He espoused
catastrophism, believing that new species emerged after such upheavals, and defined a species
as "a thought of God". Lightly soiled and stained, light stain at signature (completely legible).
Pencil marks at blank areas. Overall, fine condition. Framed to an overall size of 12½x18¾.
