Notes

Images numbered 15 and 63 were placed in this file by Ross MacFarlane, 08/07/2008.

These images were removed from their original section of the Wellcome Foundation papers, to be photographed for Roy Church, as part of work for 'Burroughs Wellcome & Co.: Knowledge, Trust, Profit, and the Transformation of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, 1880-1940' (2007).

As the original order of images 15 and 63 could no longer be ascertained, they were placed in this file: which appeared to be the file they were most likely removed from.

Location of duplicates

Wellcome Images have copies of the following images at: L0032214 (numbered in this file 15) and L0032214 (63)
