Wells Moses Sawyer

Moses Wells Sawyer (January 31, 1863 – March 21, 1960) was an American painter, illustrator, and photographer.

[4] Sawyer's photographs, sketches, and watercolors from Pepper's expedition are all that remain of many of the finds that deteriorated soon after discovery.

Sawyer lived in New York until retiring to Spain in ill health and continuing to paint in Europe as well as Central and South America.

His memberships included the Art Students League, Salmagundi Club, and American Watercolor Society.

The University of Florida library has several photos of him including one of him painting a landscape on Cape Cod, another outside with his wife Kathleen Alton Bailey Sawyer, and one among prominent friends.
