Skeleton of a blue-fin tunny-fish caught in Madeira Island "This blue-fin tunny-fish was caught off the Island of Madeira by fishermen, and acquired by Dr. Henry Acland who was attending to Henry Liddell, Dean of Christ Church, Alice’s father. The Dean was spending the winter on this warm and dry island for the sake of his health. His friend, Acland, chose to go with him, to act as his personal doctor. Acland sent the tunny-fish back to Oxford where it was transformed into this skeleton for the Anatomy School at Christ Church. In 1857, Acland asked Dodgson and his friend Reginald Southey to photograph it, together with other skeletal specimens as a record of the contents of the Anatomy School. Later, these skeletons were transferred to the new Oxford University Natural History Museum, where you will find the tunny-fish to this day." |
