EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the year 1852, offering a glimpse into the remarkable Hunterian Collection at the Royal College of Surgeons in London. Taken by Timothy Le Beau, this image showcases an interior view of the museum, where an array of intriguing exhibits awaits our curiosity. The focal point of this snapshot is undoubtedly the collection's diverse range of animal skeletons. Towering above visitors are majestic elephant bones, their sheer size and intricate structure serving as a testament to nature's awe-inspiring creations. Surrounding these skeletal wonders are various other specimens from across the animal kingdom, each meticulously preserved for scientific study and admiration. However, it is impossible not to be drawn towards one particular exhibit that stands out amidst its counterparts - a cast capturing the likeness of an African man. This inclusion highlights both cultural diversity and colonial attitudes prevalent during Victorian times when such collections were assembled for educational purposes. Le Beau's expert composition allows us to appreciate not only these fascinating objects but also provides insight into how museums were curated in the past. The dimly lit room creates an atmosphere reminiscent of exploration and discovery while emphasizing a sense of reverence for knowledge and history. As we gaze upon this historic photograph from Historic England's Howarth-Loomes Collection, we are reminded that even within static displays frozen in time like this one, there exists a wealth of stories waiting to be unraveled by those willing to explore them further.
