Two images on one negative: photographs of letters from Joseph Lister. One is dated 12 March 1893 and is to Lynam stating that he will not be able to meet his class at the hospital. The other is dated 24 March 1900 and is to Goddard thanking him for his congratulations. At the time the photographs were taken the original letters were held by King's College Hospital. The photographs are two of a number of photographs accumulated by the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum as part of its exhibition held in 1927 to celebrate the centenary of Lister, in conjunction with The Royal Society, The British Universities Hospitals and Medical and Surgical Colleges.
