Description: | A collection of zoological and botanical charts used as teaching aids. Given the dates of manufacture, it is probable that the charts were originally acquired by D'Arcy Thompson and Patrick Geddes for teaching zoology and botany at University College, Dundee. Many of the charts were still in regular use at the University of Dundee in the 1980s. The collection includes 112 botanical charts, mostly from the series by Leopold Kny of Berlin (83 of the 120 charts produced in the series) and Arnold & Carolina Dodel-Port of Zurich (37 of the 42 produced). There are also various hand-drawn ones, dating from after Geddes's time. Some are by Prof Alexander Dickson of the University of Edinburgh. There are also 26 zoological charts, including 6 by Pfurtscheller from Germany and others by George Philip & Son and Sidgwick & Jackson among others. There are also some on human biology and heredity, mostly hand-drawn. | Format: | teaching charts | Subjects: | Education Zoology Botany | Source: | University of Dundee | Address: | 5-7 Hawkhill Place,
