Four more from the Ball Collection
I was able to get back to Ball today and had to scan these when I found them.
Acc 19322 Sarcoma of the iris and Syphilitic iritis
Acc 19321 Marginal eczema pustule and Epithelioma involving both the cornea and conjunctiva
And I would like to note that I've scanned very, very few from the collection because of time constraints. Also, if I've already scanned something similar, even if it's from a different publication, I generally won't scan it.
This is an incredible collection and I've enjoyed every minute working on it.
How can these Ball Collection images keep getting better and better? How vast is this collection??
ReplyDeleteHundreds of pieces. Kathleen's still cleaning the finding aid, but we should have it up on the main museum site this month.
