1821年，奥古斯都·博齐·格兰维尔FRS打开并解剖了一具古埃及木乃伊，并于1825年向英国皇家学会提交了他的研究结果。他委托艺术家亨利·佩里（Henry Perry）分阶段绘制这一过程；这些图画随后被詹姆斯·巴西尔雕刻出来发表在《哲学汇刊》上。这篇文章首次展示了原始图纸，允许与他们的雕刻进行比较。结合格兰维尔对木乃伊开封的描述，这些图画显示了插图和其他视觉实践在19世纪早期解剖学论证中的重要作用，以及委托插图用于科学专业知识的表现和传播的威望。此外，这些图画还包括种族科学的一个关键的视觉隐喻——一个面朝左边的头骨，以面部角度绘制——因此表明了埃及木乃伊早期被纳入种族类型学。
In 1821 Augustus Bozzi Granville FRS unwrapped and dissected an ancient Egyptian mummy, presenting the results of his examination to the Royal Society in 1825. He commissioned artist Henry Perry to draw the process in stages; these drawings were subsequently engraved by James Basire for publication inPhilosophical Transactions. This article presents the original drawings for the first time, allowing comparison with their engravings. Taken together with Granville's accounts of the unwrapping of the mummy, the drawings demonstrate the significant role of illustration and other visual practices in anatomical argumentation in the early nineteenth century, as well as the prestige that commissioned illustrations lent to the performance and dissemination of scientific expertise. Moreover, the drawings include one of the key visual tropes of race science—a skull in left-facing profile, mapped with a facial angle—and thus indicate the early incorporation of Egyptian mummies into typologies of race.
