| Description |
English: "Bust of Sir Hans Sloane
Hans Sloane (1660-1753), whose collection was purchased for the public to found the British Museum, acquired objects and natural specimens during his time in Jamaica as physician to the British Governor of the island. He would later become physician to Kings George I and II, and President of the Royal Society. This bust was made by Michael Rysbrack in the 1730s as a model for a full-length marble sculpture of Sloane. The statue was set up in the Physic Garden of the Society of Apothecaries, in the grounds of Sloane's country manor house at Chelsea in West London. Together with his medical earnings and land investments, Sloane used income generated by enslaved people on plantations, inherited by his wife Elizabeth Langley Rose Sloane, to purchase 'curiosities' from around the expanding British empire and his wide network of contacts around the globe." |
