Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Recently a wooden box was discovered in the basement of the Institute of Archaeology [Oxford] containing over forty hand-painted lantern slides, the work of HMJ Underhill, a hitherto neglected figure. Henry Underhill, an Oxford grocer, was a man of wide intellectual interests and abilities, who used his slides to illustrate his lectures on natural history, folklore, British prehistory, and archaeology, and who made significant contributions to local scientific societies and journals in late 19th-century Oxford. This article explores his life, his social and cultural background, the development of his intellectual interests, and his legacy, especially his contribution to archaeology. As one who was not a member of the university, his career illuminates the relationships between both town and gown and amateur and professional historians. | |
