X-ray photograph of the hand of William George Armstrong
X-ray image of Lord Armstrong's left hand showing its bones and a faint outline of the soft tissue of his fingers, darkening towards his hand and wrist. Signed and dated on the print, below the thumb: "Armstrong 28 Sept 1896". Stamped verso: "FROM MR.SWINTONS PHOTOGRAPHIC LABORATORY, 66, VICTORIA STREET, S.W.". Annotated in ink below this "negative no.161." This image is likely to date from the Royal Society's 6 May 1896 soiree and the inscribed date indicates when Armstrong signed the resulting print rather than when the original image was taken. Baron Armstrong of Cragside was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1846.
Original: radiograph print. 1896
- Image reference: RS-9841
