I am researching a beautiful and anatomically accurate drawing of a skeleton donated by John Hull Grundy to the medical museum (he was a very generous man and also left a collection of coins / medals to the university collection). His drawing of the skeleton will be on display and copies of his book are held with the Museum and Manchester University. In doing this research I have been fascinated by this extremely talented and kind polymath, and the comment by Brian Stephens was touching, so I decided to post this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045845679444796608.post-23156722283738655832015-10-02T14:09:19.222+00:002015-10-02T14:09:19.222+00:00I have the book if anyone is interested in purchas...I have the book if anyone is interested in purchasing it? georgiesandford76@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045845679444796608.post-47371834531180395652012-02-08T16:27:53.682+00:002012-02-08T16:27:53.682+00:00he must have been one of my mother's teachers ...he must have been one of my mother's teachers at the Royal College of Art, I have a correspondance (letters sent to the w.r.e.n.s quarters in Stanmore), full of drawings of bits of insects(flies), and reflections on Italian art...francesca rachetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045845679444796608.post-23284640676633077692011-10-11T14:50:40.905+00:002011-10-11T14:50:40.905+00:00Mea culpa.

I had three months there in 1949 and then went to the then Army School of Hygiene at Ash Vale near Farnborough. He was a quiet, shy man but meticulous in all matters. especially for the laying out of the demonstrations for the college students. He had a kind touch too. He gave me and a fellow student passes to London Zoo for a Sunday morning visit. Another time he told us to go to St. James' Park to collect larvae from the lake. It happened to coincide with the rehearsal of the trooping of the Colour and we were able to see all the pageantry of the return of the parade to the Palace. On his death he left a large sum of money, from his Rich American wife (Anne Hull Grundy q.v.). You can see some of her jewellery in the British Museum.Brian Stephensnoreply@blogger.com
