Pharmacist, entrepreneur, philanthropist and collector, Sir Henry Solomon Wellcome, built a space to house his collections and to provide a venue where professionals could learn more about the development of medicine and medical science. The quirky Wellcome Collection is one of my favourite museums. I don't remember seeing these photographs of a woman having a skin peel to remove freckles; I guess I'll have to pay another visit next time in London.
Photographs by André Just, ca. 1937.
