Photograph (Albumen Print) of George Rolleston, c.1860

Albumen print mounted on a page extracted from a scrapbook, along with cuttings relating to Rolleston's death. Portrait of George Rolleston, seated three-quarter length, turned slightly to right and looking right, holding a paper in his left hand. The page is dated 1881, the date of Rolleston's death, and contains obituaries and reports of his funeral; but the photograph is earlier. Rolleston looks much the same as in the photograph by C. L. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) of 'Dr Rolleston's Class', 1857, and the plain style and pose of the photograph would not be inconsistent with the portraits Dodgson made of his colleagues at Christ Church. Rolleston was Dr Lee's Reader in Anatomy there (1857-60) in succession to Acland, moving to the University Museum as professor in 1860.
