hospitals and home caregivers primarily to feed those who were unable to eat on
their own. The label on the original box of this earthenware feeding cup, the
company that manufactured is AYRTON, SAUNDERS & CO.LTD. It is highly
probable that this cup was produced between the late 19th and early 20th
centuries. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p>

feeding cups represents a scientific approach to the nursing of the invalid. In
the act of feeding, the participants are patients and caregivers. Feeding is a

It is recommended that the sediment be sampled and tested for its composition, which may reveal what food has been served in this cup.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The paper paperboard packaging around the
feeding cup has done its job well over the years in protecting. The label is
adhered tightly to the box and the printing on it is not visibly faded. The
well presence of this package box gives this feeding cup complete production
information. A mechanical die cutting machine was invented in 1879, and blanks
could be creased automatically. This period is very close to the year in which
the feeding cups were made. This is also an indication that this box is a
relatively early method of paperboard box manufacture. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

a misspelling) of the Paraguayan Chaco.</p>

but it is clear from these reports that tobacco smoking makes up a large part
of their social culture (though not as a part of shamanistic ritual), and reference
is repeatedly made to the elaborate nature of tobacco pipes, whilst this pipe is far more simplistic in nature. Although the
finish may not be generally representative of Suhin pipes, the
general shape of the pipe, especially the wide, flat mouthpiece is
stylistically very typical of the area (see below).<o:p></o:p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEibR8Hks3Ox7lHb4gwuIUMZr4tDqMOfS4bf55BtKyMxJSDuKwCb-1eAyx7NJEBUwDNfQCoIT2jZTUuZi7hpx7vdgB0jrVFZdcx2jn1gOzJK_uzQmUke-AJoxTAKwE_WhBCgM-maYO01J2MfK6JxqGZ2-aR9fakqqsNmtLdq--kwBDQ1R4pw9lgv-sDN6Q" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="488" data-original-width="1012" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEibR8Hks3Ox7lHb4gwuIUMZr4tDqMOfS4bf55BtKyMxJSDuKwCb-1eAyx7NJEBUwDNfQCoIT2jZTUuZi7hpx7vdgB0jrVFZdcx2jn1gOzJK_uzQmUke-AJoxTAKwE_WhBCgM-maYO01J2MfK6JxqGZ2-aR9fakqqsNmtLdq--kwBDQ1R4pw9lgv-sDN6Q=w353-h170" width="353" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Overall, the pipe appears to be fairly unique in nature. Similar
examples could not be found either in the literature, or in museum collections
(both the British Museum and Smithsonian were consulted). Interestingly, whilst
the minimalistic nature of the pipe may have reduced its material value in the
past, it is this that adds the greatest current significance to this artefact. Furthermore,
this pipe is unusual in the evidence of use that can be seen across the surface
(see below). This was not seen in any of the other examples that were able to
be examined, adding further value to the pipe.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhzZsiNLQHXtvFVbCnY5D5FyLiBDrinxqfr2MNw5gRaRfUiBM66A3nzeOrHAXjzucwPouWEIaPmLkt5Gp5IYAE4vOP30Q5o_um8cEhvbXgxKHCo_tCM0HNxspeADqZ6XUBxeTXjkOPOUwWNaPOqpbeb6_af77a3vrqvqYSIIa3XKMMQk7MdsTt4RQfMlQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="255" data-original-width="477" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhzZsiNLQHXtvFVbCnY5D5FyLiBDrinxqfr2MNw5gRaRfUiBM66A3nzeOrHAXjzucwPouWEIaPmLkt5Gp5IYAE4vOP30Q5o_um8cEhvbXgxKHCo_tCM0HNxspeADqZ6XUBxeTXjkOPOUwWNaPOqpbeb6_af77a3vrqvqYSIIa3XKMMQk7MdsTt4RQfMlQ=w444-h237" width="444" /></a></div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, the pipe’s position as part of the UCL teaching
collection (believed to have been part of a donation from W. Gibbons along with a number of other artefacts) further adds to its intangible value – not only is it significant in
terms of its own biography, but also in what it can teach students.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to the limited nature of the literature, as well as the
present significance attributed to the pipe, this artefact appears to be of
great significance, despite its apparently modest appearance at first glance.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieFeWscZR2GBc108JUJ8LZ6hv4cEjKZEduaLaPoI5NIbWiRD8MibmWMv4cX3qiLS2zvoK0sCFDuLj1OaaCRqwZe5hwTBP8M4Dbv48fCYJR9Q6BC4GgdRPY9qtTgpHL70IMMMz446yB6Z-Jdc8cJDMxeVbBsu-irxFLr10x-gqirHW-KH-YAnfFVZpAGg/s654/references.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="569" data-original-width="654" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieFeWscZR2GBc108JUJ8LZ6hv4cEjKZEduaLaPoI5NIbWiRD8MibmWMv4cX3qiLS2zvoK0sCFDuLj1OaaCRqwZe5hwTBP8M4Dbv48fCYJR9Q6BC4GgdRPY9qtTgpHL70IMMMz446yB6Z-Jdc8cJDMxeVbBsu-irxFLr10x-gqirHW-KH-YAnfFVZpAGg/w489-h425/references.PNG" width="489" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069130222095487768.post-45093386694118065302022-03-25T15:51:00.000+00:002022-03-25T15:51:01.581+00:00J.26 Statement of significance<p><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHLFhBw6wtybmsu6Oh3_NK_Z3AKCXya4_G5TKYMvlY-R5mL-N6lHGDwA1G4rJ36nmL8LOzan1e4o2_Yd1JH8XSVSd-1MR36uJuKcH_mYy-_2Q67GIFGdRyciQ_m4Ll1dplg6aMKwi05j-SgiEnOU1DzgKUCrtXQ-PW-fjOrbXngYFCJRBgvqdwn_Xr/s5063/J_26_full_002.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5063" data-original-width="3443" height="481" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHLFhBw6wtybmsu6Oh3_NK_Z3AKCXya4_G5TKYMvlY-R5mL-N6lHGDwA1G4rJ36nmL8LOzan1e4o2_Yd1JH8XSVSd-1MR36uJuKcH_mYy-_2Q67GIFGdRyciQ_m4Ll1dplg6aMKwi05j-SgiEnOU1DzgKUCrtXQ-PW-fjOrbXngYFCJRBgvqdwn_Xr/w328-h481/J_26_full_002.png" width="328" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Figure 1</b>: <i>Full view of J.26 object</i>, photograph taken by the author, 2022.</span></td></tr></tbody></table></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Before its acquisition into UCL's Ethnography Collection in the 1950s, the J.26 object resided in the Wellcome Collection (Mercier, pers. comm., 2022; <b>fig. 1</b>).

Dr. Bayliss was an esteemed professor and famed physiologist who discovered secretin, which was a critical breakthrough in the history of endocrinology (Miles 1924, 448). He also found a treatment for shock which saved countless lives during the first World War (BMJ 1924, 489). It therefore should not be unexpected to acknowledge that the significance of the Door Segment relates to the man who worked behind it. That said, the historical and sociopolitical context of the segment is multifaceted. Dr. Bayliss’ use of vivisection in his experiments and lectures lead to the Brown Dog Affair, which instigated months of rioting in London over the ethical dilemma that was legal vivisection (Baron 1956, 547). The segment then symbolizes this discourse between scientific progress and moral philosophy.</p></div></div><div><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></i></div><div><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhc1Z8JLSi0XlOqlcDX8pGEYtfFaZWEafJrUEV424wB4OsYJLoHIO3fr5cMlOf_-ImNGovp6myhjN1jQKPr0tmNCv0cORnSVgq0g3JzhfPS9LgswiHh3BoNQFk0nZuUWn5KI2pzs-mzY_V7mHwuRK6USi3YZOUqPWT0kJhAztQLEx8NecrLYQiIQw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="338" data-original-width="904" height="120" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhc1Z8JLSi0XlOqlcDX8pGEYtfFaZWEafJrUEV424wB4OsYJLoHIO3fr5cMlOf_-ImNGovp6myhjN1jQKPr0tmNCv0cORnSVgq0g3JzhfPS9LgswiHh3BoNQFk0nZuUWn5KI2pzs-mzY_V7mHwuRK6USi3YZOUqPWT0kJhAztQLEx8NecrLYQiIQw" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Figure 2: Photograph of Door Segment Front (Exterior)</span></i></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgNRYDl1sLRWOxdBJgbpDfyOHRoizHWhP-KX06Rj1q-fc3-pknlRjHLaORtQbgO7YhUCTRwJVNHslO96bjVTZFUsvixC5u3anfjqjjtFk8XqXHPO2dzCJDF1fZOIvkm4yU6hliUdhMc9SiCf6TrwBNVkHzG3cLJBbyOfVLd8wutYFpHqPP8xwvceg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="348" data-original-width="902" height="123" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgNRYDl1sLRWOxdBJgbpDfyOHRoizHWhP-KX06Rj1q-fc3-pknlRjHLaORtQbgO7YhUCTRwJVNHslO96bjVTZFUsvixC5u3anfjqjjtFk8XqXHPO2dzCJDF1fZOIvkm4yU6hliUdhMc9SiCf6TrwBNVkHzG3cLJBbyOfVLd8wutYFpHqPP8xwvceg" width="320" /></a></i></div><p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Figure 3: Photograph of Door Segment Back (Interior)</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The physical object itself also holds value; it is not only incredibly unique, but also aesthetically pleasing. While it was once a component of a door, it is now a successful object of cultural heritage in and of itself. The vivid colours, asymmetrical composition, and painterly text combine to create a charismatic and satisfying object. A fragment of door is an unusual choice of object to act as a monument to a famous scientist; thus, its rarity enhances the significance of the segment.</span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></i></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEinEgrcWESO2tjY4aFDyAmLbKcmjnVGiqsnI_JDK6SL1DcYfnD9DPJkDuH-qHgiH2xezqj7frG4RcxBa8t9o8AqPGWWZjNfktdkgTX8Mw1KHSPnWC_fmhae_I5DDz6k8N50GkvdkfSR8atst78GPH7VfF3TJY1KqO6cll-J05FP4qojqi_U7_6IPA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="808" data-original-width="490" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEinEgrcWESO2tjY4aFDyAmLbKcmjnVGiqsnI_JDK6SL1DcYfnD9DPJkDuH-qHgiH2xezqj7frG4RcxBa8t9o8AqPGWWZjNfktdkgTX8Mw1KHSPnWC_fmhae_I5DDz6k8N50GkvdkfSR8atst78GPH7VfF3TJY1KqO6cll-J05FP4qojqi_U7_6IPA=w175-h288" width="175" /></a></i></div><p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Figure 4: Drawing of Potential Door Reconstruction</span></i><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">It can be difficult to understand an object that maintains such contrasting meanings simultaneously, i.e., the segment’s relation to both scientific advancement and vivisection.

It is then the duty of the conservator to understand the tangible significance of this rare object, as well as the intangible personal, historical, and cultural values. The Door Segment's significance is intertwined in its relationship to Dr. Bayliss and his scientific discoveries, as well as the sociopolitical movement that he initiated.</p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0in 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Baron, J.

Others of similar composition may have deteriorated.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana; font-style: italic;"> (Source: </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana; font-style: italic;">Phillips and White 2010).</span></span></div><p class="MsoCaption" style="font-style: italic; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana; font-size: xx-small;"><span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The significance of the materials of this unassuming object should not be totally discounted, however.
