Title A name given to the resource Dr David Livingstone Humerus Cast Description An account of the resource A replica cast of David Livingstone's left humerus, showing a compound fracture which occurred when he was mauled by a lion on his first expedition. The cast being made prior to his internment in Westminster Abbey, the old healed fracture proved that the remains were indeed those of David Livingstone. It was presented to the Royal College by the Livingstone Memorial Trust in 1973 on the anniversary of his death, and is contained within a modern glazed case. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FSVfGkNOMTE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> <div class="sketchfab-embed-wrapper"><iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/b2752b227d9449da870b80ae90f04932/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/david-livingstone-humerus-replica-cast-b2752b227d9449da870b80ae90f04932?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">David Livingstone Humerus Replica Cast</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> </div> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource c. 1874 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 2006/6 3D Animation David Livingstone Visualization https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/55e01b58ecc20e368be43f60d572abb4.jpg 6a25016211358ce374039dd7255b69af Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Portrait of David Livingstone Description An account of the resource Seated half-length in a black coat and grey trousers. Livingstone funded his own medical studies at Anderson's University in Glasgow by working as a tradesman cotton spinner. He moved to London to enter the London Missionary Society and further his medical studies in the London hospitals. In 1840 he became a licentiate of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and was ordained a missionary in the same year. Although set to serve as a missionary in China, he was instead sent to South Africa. Here he worked and travelled as a medical missionary for many years. This portrait was purchased by the Faculty in 1875. It is an 'enlarged photograph by Mr Thomas Annan coloured in oil' and cost 30 guineas. The photograph was taken in 1864, and the image was coloured in oil after Livingstone's death.

Title A name given to the resource 3D Scan of Livingstone Humerus Cast Description An account of the resource Seen here is a 3D model of a replica cast of the left humerus of David Livingstone, the Scottish medical missionary. Livingstone fractured his humerus after a lion attacked him during a hunt. Livingstone gave an account of this attack in his publication, "Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa: Including a Sketch of Sixteen Years' Residence in the Interior of Africa ": "...I saw the lion just in the act of springing upon me...he caught my shoulder as he sprang, and we both came to the ground below together. Growling horribly close to my ear, he shook me as a terrier dog does a rat...Besides crunching the bone into splinters, he left eleven teeth wounds on the upper part of my arm." <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/b2752b227d9449da870b80ae90f04932/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/david-livingstone-humerus-replica-cast-b2752b227d9449da870b80ae90f04932?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;" rel="noopener">David Livingstone Humerus Replica Cast</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;" rel="noopener">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;" rel="noopener">Sketchfab</a></p> Relation A related resource <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/111" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Plaster Cast</a></div> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/656" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Portrait of David Livingstone</a></div> <div></div> 3D Anatomy David Livingstone Visualization https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/eb1e717d46b8010d69d9d00832f64cad.jpg 41338fb27d372f419cf1570aaac6cc33 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
