Farrel's skeleton also passed into Dr Hunter's collection, since in the 19th century it "hung in the Hunterian Press". By the time teachers catalogued the anatomical preparations in 1900, all that was left was "an articulated foot and leg" and that much is still in the Pathology Museum, Royal Infirmary." | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | FIGURE : PORTRAIT : MALE : DWARF : DISABILITY : ANATOMY : HUNTER 2007 : LEATHER JACK : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
