Ed, double goof on my part: 1) NR should have been NL - Nepean Longridge, heaven alone knows how my brain rendered L as R, must be the onset of antiquity - and 2) I hadn't realised that it was George Campbell who did the drawings for Anatomy. A fine artist, witness his illustrations for China Tea Clippers. (Completely off-piste, China Tea Clippers features a magnificent Montagu Dawson painting on its cover, showing Taeping and Ariel hammering up the Channel at the end of their 'race' from Foochow in 1866. When I was growing up, a print of a different Dawson Painting, but featuring the same clippers, hung on our living room wall - another contributor to a lifelong interest. Curiously, unlike the vast majority of Dawson paintings, this one was not a straightforward ship portrait: the point of view was about twenty feet up in the leeward foremast shrouds (of Ariel, I think), looking down on frantic activity on the foredeck, with the other ship (Taeping, it would have to be) half a mile ahead and to windward, with furled royals and skysails and no stuns'ls. Must have been blowing a bit! Wonderfully atmospheric. The painting now hangs in my hallway.)
Tony, great to hear that the Science Museum collection is still accessible. I need to plan a trip to the Smoke!
Bob, a most excellent rendition of YA - can we see more?
