  <mods:abstract>Possibly of a local Boston patient Large watercolor showing several views of a tumor. At the top is an external view of the removed mass and a cross section of it. In the center top, a boy's head in profile is being held by adult hands to show the mass in his lower right jaw and neck. Below, a large microscopic view at 3500 power of the tissue shows the various cells, with a red blood cell for scale. Watercolor is framed in green sewn textile, with metal grommets in each of the four corners.</mods:abstract>
  <mods:note>Henry Jacob Bigelow employed artist Oscar Wallis exclusively from 1848 - 1854 to paint a series of large teaching watercolors to illustrate Bigelow's lectures at Harvard Medical School. Wallis painted the teaching diagrams from local subjects and from the atlases of established medical authorities. The effort cost Bigelow $6,000. In 1890 Bigelow presented the watercolors to Reginald H. Fitz to be used in the Harvard Medical School's Department of Anatomy. The watercolors were transferred into the Warren Anatomical Museum between 1890 and 1930.</mods:note>
