Hammill, G.
The Royal Society's portraits and busts
Royal Society of London, 1976.1st edition.Paper covers.V.g./No Jacket.A very terse list, including additions to the earlier catalogue published in Notes and Records in 1969.One might hope that some day the RS would produce a decent illustrated catalogue, given the importance of its holdings? One purpose served by this list is to identify gaps in their collection, especially of portraits of past presidents, nine of which were missing at the time of writing.It is also regrettable that women Fellows are sorely lacking, albeit a single portrait bust of Mary Somerville makes up for it a little.She wasn't a Fellow, of course, unlike her husband!.In English.1.0 kg.
