| CustodialHistory | The items (along with GSL/OB/4) were in a later box marked 'Box-wood models illustrating the Treatise on Crystallography by William Phillips, edited by H J Brooke and W H Miller, 1852'. However it more closely relates to William Phillips, 'An elementary introduction to mineralogy… ' 4th edition, London: Longman, 1837 which had been interleaved and annotated with reference to specimens in the Museum by Henry James Brooke in 1859. (GSL/MUS/2/1). All of the models are marked in pencil with locations of the actual mineral specimens in the old Museum. These models were separated from GSL/OB/4 in 2014 as they are by a different maker.
The cannibalisation of the different model sets was likely done during one of the Special Museum Committees, late 1850s early 1870s. |
| Publication Note | The models are referenced in: Accum, F.C. (1813) Elements of crystallography: after the method of Haüy: with, or without, series of geometrical models, both solid and dissected; exhibiting the forms of crystals, their geometrical structure, dissections, and general laws. According to which the immense variety of actually existing crystals are produced. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown. |
