In addition to serving as the dentist to royalty in 19th-century Europe and being an early benefactor to @penndentalmed , Thomas Evans was a great collector. A small portion of this collection is currently on display in the library of the Dental Medicine School. This exhibition presents a small selection of sixteenth-century printed books associated with Evans. Large, small, illustrated, unillustrated, their attractions differ. They reflect a person with more curiosity and broader interests than many people possess. His legacy gives Penn and its community a gift with many uses—one of which is their sheer enjoyability. library.upenn.edu/exhibits/evans_16th.html* * *#kislakcenter #pennlibraries #penndental #dentistry #collection #16thcentury #ThomasEvans #exhibit #libraryexhibit #rarebooks #exhibition #specialcollections -- source link
