About this work
Description
These appear to be images taken by Browne whilst in Uzuakoli, Nigeria, and during tours of and visits to other countries (some are labelled 'Uz.' or the name of the place). It is likely that many of the ones taken in Nigeria are of Browne's patients, some of whom are named on the individual slide (often with a patient number as well). Sets of slides were possibly used by Browne for conferences, lectures, seminars and other teaching purposes.
The descriptions and covering dates reflect (verbatim) what has been written by Browne on the slides themselves, however, since in a few cases slides are unlabelled or information illegible, descriptions and dates are not always comprehensive. Browne generally wrote the condition, place and date on the slides but not usually all three. The geographical location of some obscure places has been added in square brackets.
Key to some abbreviations in slide labelling: BL = Borderline Leprotamous TM = Tuberculoid Macular MT = Macular Tuberculoid Uz. = Uzuakoli Itu. = ?Itu-Agon, Lagos, Nigeria R = Right L = Left
