* New Acquisitions..
We are delighted to announce the arrival of two new silhouettes, kindly donated to our collection by The Hunterian Museum at The Royal College of Surgeons, London. The silhouettes of Dr Jenner and his wife Katherine are thought to be dated around 1815 and hold a unique space in our collection. The silhouette of Katherine Jenner is the ONLY known image to exist and finally allows us to put a face to the love of Jenner's life.
The silhouettes will be on display in Dr Jenner's House from Tuesday 1st May
