Title
A name given to the resource
Edmund Collection of Local History
Description
An account of the resource
John David Geyton Edmund (d1993) was a local amateur historian who lived in Exeter. For much of his career he was Chief Electrician and Stage Manager at Exeter Theatre Royal, until its closure in 1962. After that he became a lecturer in electronics at Exeter College. His interest in drama continued, as he played an active role in amateur dramatics. He had an interest in many local organisations, serving on the Library Committee of the Devon and Exeter Institute and also training the first Exeter Redcoat Guides in 1987. He was also particularly interested in railways, trams, papermills, Exeter theatres and the Exeter blitz, about which he wrote for local periodicals, including the Transactions of the Devonshire Association and Devon Life.
The strengths of the Edmund Collection lie in local history. The main emphasis is upon Exeter and East Devon, although there is some material from West Devon (such as Plymouth) and Dorset and Cornwall. There are a few more general books in the collection, covering British history. The majority of the items (which includes books, pamphlets, periodicals and maps) covers various aspects of the west country, notably the history of towns and villages and their
residents. Social history is well-represented with material on religion, transport (particularly railways), education and local myths and legends.

Title
A name given to the resource
Hudson Transparencies
Description
An account of the resource
Created by Charles Thomas Hudson to illustrate his lectures, the 'Hudson transparencies' are a collection of 58 large framed paintings on paper screens. These visual teaching aids illustrate microscopic organisms and were designed to be viewed backlit in a darkened room.
Each screen is in a wooden frame, approximately 96cm high by 76cm wide. The paintings are on translucent white and coloured paper, with perforations to create highlights. Thick brown paper forms a mask so that only the image is seen, when lit from behind.
It is thought some of these were created in the mid 1880's or later.
Hudson's way of working is described in a handout produced by the Biology Department, University of Exeter:
'His method was to rough out the portrait of his animal in chalk on a sheet of thick brown paper and then to cut out large areas over which he pasted a thin white paper upon which he painted the appropriate parts. All the more delicate lining was however done by a series of pinpricks. The final results when illuminated from behind are not only extremely accurate portraits of his subjects but quite thrillingly beautiful'

Hudson Transparencies
Description
An account of the resource
Created by Charles Thomas Hudson to illustrate his lectures, the 'Hudson transparencies' are a collection of 58 large framed paintings on paper screens. These visual teaching aids illustrate microscopic organisms and were designed to be viewed backlit in a darkened room.
Each screen is in a wooden frame, approximately 96cm high by 76cm wide. The paintings are on translucent white and coloured paper, with perforations to create highlights. Thick brown paper forms a mask so that only the image is seen, when lit from behind.
It is thought some of these were created in the mid 1880's or later.
Hudson's way of working is described in a handout produced by the Biology Department, University of Exeter:
'His method was to rough out the portrait of his animal in chalk on a sheet of thick brown paper and then to cut out large areas over which he pasted a thin white paper upon which he painted the appropriate parts. All the more delicate lining was however done by a series of pinpricks. The final results when illuminated from behind are not only extremely accurate portraits of his subjects but quite thrillingly beautiful'

A name given to the resource
Hudson Transparencies
Description
An account of the resource
Created by Charles Thomas Hudson to illustrate his lectures, the 'Hudson transparencies' are a collection of 58 large framed paintings on paper screens. These visual teaching aids illustrate microscopic organisms and were designed to be viewed backlit in a darkened room.
Each screen is in a wooden frame, approximately 96cm high by 76cm wide. The paintings are on translucent white and coloured paper, with perforations to create highlights. Thick brown paper forms a mask so that only the image is seen, when lit from behind.
It is thought some of these were created in the mid 1880's or later.
Hudson's way of working is described in a handout produced by the Biology Department, University of Exeter:
'His method was to rough out the portrait of his animal in chalk on a sheet of thick brown paper and then to cut out large areas over which he pasted a thin white paper upon which he painted the appropriate parts. All the more delicate lining was however done by a series of pinpricks. The final results when illuminated from behind are not only extremely accurate portraits of his subjects but quite thrillingly beautiful'
