Description: | None on handle, stiff fabric label attached, tarnish to tip and length of blade, several diagonal scratches on tip and lower length of blade. This small scalpel or dissecting knife was used by Wiliam Thomson (Lord Kelvin) in the mid-19th Century. The knife was also used by Kelvin's great grand-niece, Dr. Joan MacKinnon. The item was donated to the Hunterian Museum accompanied by a box once containing the Breadalbane Medal in Mathematics (1841), and a letter written by Lord Kelvin to Dr. John Hall Gladstone (now in Glasgow University Library's Special Collections). | 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: | DISSECTION : | 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 |
