| Description Of Item | Items 1 to 10 are a collection of casts which were created by Dr Robert Cranston Low and Miss Rae, a private secretary within the Skin Department of the University of Edinburgh and who also assisted in the city's infirmary. This collection consists of the casts created by Low and Rae, which are modelled on patients at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
Precisely how many casts were originally created by Low and Rae is unknown, although this surviving collection is likely to only be a small proportion of these.
For more information on the history of these moulages, see G H Percival, 'Some aspects of the development of dermatology with special reference to the contribution of the Edinburgh Medical School' (1982), pages 217 to 220.
Item 11 is a moulage which was purchased separately from the above. |
