UNDERFOOT in the archives

Turner Prize-winning artist Elizabeth Price's exhibition 'UNDERFOOT' was created following the artist's research fellowship with the University of Glasgow Library, where she worked with Master Weaver Dr. Jonathan Cleaver to explore and study the Stoddart and Templeton carpet factory archives.

You can hear from Jonathan in person at our upcoming event ‘Carpet Records’ where he’ll be exploring the importance of this collection and how it reflects an essential part of Glasgow's industrial heritage. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/carpet-records-tickets-513901391897

🎭Does Mary Queen of Scots scream drama queen to you?

With such a turbulent life and death, Mary is the ideal candidate for a theatrical retelling. Her afterlife has been dramatised on stage and screen for centuries, becoming central to Scottish folklore. Why not come along and see some of the theatrical revisions of Mary’s life?

Visit ‘The Afterlife of Mary Queen of Scots’ at the Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow, until 5 February 2023.

New Guinea Birdwing (Ornithoptera priamus uravilleanus)
IUCN Red List Category: Not Evaluated

The Ornithoptera priamus urvilleanus is a subspecies of the Common Green or New Guinea Birdwing, with distinctive blue males, found on the pacific islands of New Ireland, Bougainville and the Solomon Islands. Ornithoptera priamus uravilleanus is categorised as ‘Not Evaluated’ indicating further study is needed to quantify the risk. The status of the majority of the world’s insects is not yet evaluated.

European tree frog (Hyla arborea)
IUCN Red List Category: Least Concern

This amphibian is found across Europe in a variety of habitats from marshlands to dry forests. They have sticky disks on their toes which allow them to climb well hence the name tree frog. Although it is currently in the Least Concern category its populations are still thought to be declining and the potential for loss of suitable habitat is the greatest threat facing this frog.

This museum specimen is a freeze-dried frog that has been painted to look ‘life-like’.

Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus)
IUCN Red List Category: Near Threatened

One of the weirdest animals in the world, it’s a mammal but it lays eggs, finds its prey using electrolocation, has no teeth and the male even has a poisonous spur. They are found throughout eastern Australia and the population is thought to be stable. However, they are classified as Near Threatened as increasing droughts, due to climate change, and water extraction for agriculture could become problems in the future leading to a loss of suitable habitat for these aquatic animals.

Our specimen, on display in the Hunterian Zoology Museum, was purchased from Charles Kirk, the Glasgow taxidermist, in 1914.

Coconut crab (Birgus latro)
IUCN Red List Category: Vulnerable

The biggest arthropod found on land, coconut crabs can weigh over 4kg and be 1 metre in width from the tip of one leg to another. They live mainly on tropical islands across the Indian and Pacific Oceans but due to being hunted for food by humans they are classified as Vulnerable. They have a long-life span and slow growth rate so they are likely to be over harvested, people should be wary however as depending on the crab’s diet they can become poisonous to eat. They have also been affected by loss of habitat, climate change and invasive species.

Our dried specimen, on display in the Hunterian Zoology Museum, came from Christmas Island.

Sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus)
IUCN Red List Category: Endangered

This small species of sturgeon can be found in rivers from eastern Europe across to Siberia. Due to several factors including overharvesting for its flesh and caviar, pollution of water bodies and increasing numbers of dams affecting its habitat it is classified as Endangered. Attempts at restocking are underway but have had mixed success.

Our specimen, on display in the Hunterian Zoology Museum, shows the skeleton of the animal.

Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis)
IUCN Red List category: Critically Endangered

With as few as 300 individual animals estimated to be present in the wild this alligator is in a very serious position, hunting, loss of habitat and pollution all contributed to their decline. However, captive breeding programmes are helping to bolster the population and if suitable habitats are maintained and improved then more releases could help the currently stable population to grow. The alligator is thought by some to have been an inspiration for the mythical Chinese dragon and use of this association could help with conservation efforts in the future.

Our stuffed specimen, on display in the Hunterian Zoology Museum, is of a sub-adult animal.

Don't miss this week's Friday Focus with Curator of Zoology Mike Rutherford, who'll be looking at the various at-risk species we hold in our collection and will examine the drivers pushing them closer to extinction.

Dodo (Raphus cucullatus)
IUCN Red List category: Extinct

The dodo is the archetypal extinct species and will probably be the species that most people would think of first when asked about extinction. They were first seen by humans when sailors discovered the island of Mauritius in 1598. Unfortunately, due to being overhunted by people for food, the loss of their forest habitat and introduced species such as pigs, rats and monkeys eating their eggs and young they were last seen less than 100 years later in 1662.

No complete specimens of the dodo remain in museum collections, just scattered bones. The skeletal dodo leg on display in the Hunterian Zoology Museum is actually made up of bones from two different individuals.

09/01/2023

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is a catalogue of thousands of species of plants and animals showing what their current status is and how likely they are to be threatened with extinction.

The categories are Extinct, Extinct in the Wild, Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, Near Threatened, Least Concern, Data Deficient and Not Evaluated.

These categories are based on factors including the size of a population and how fragmented it is, how widely distributed it is, breeding success and the increase or decrease rates of the population over time.

Over the coming week we’ll share examples of species on display in the Hunterian Zoology Museum that come under some of these categories.

❄️🖼️James Downie Robertson, ‘Roof Tops, Winter, 1966’.

Predominantly a landscape painter, Scottish artist James Downie Robertson (1931–2010) focused his attention on capturing the mood and feel of the places he painted rather than portraying any particular view or location.

He studied at the Glasgow School of Art under David Donaldson and Joan Eardley and became a full-time lecturer there in 1967, ultimately becoming Senior Lecturer.

in 1933 Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh died.

Margaret Macdonald (1864–1933) was one of the most gifted artist-designers working in Glasgow at the turn of the last century. Her range is impressive: metalwork, textiles, graphics, watercolours and gesso. Her achievements with the latter were unmatched in Britain. She often collaborated with her talented sister Frances Macdonald McNair in the 1890s and later with Charles Rennie in the early 1900s.

This work, 'La Mort Parfumee', was one of her last works. The abstraction of the composition, its richly sombre colour scheme and the dramatic imagery evoking Egyptian burial rites, make it one of her most powerful watercolours. 'The Glasgow Herald' (17 February 1921) called it an 'Egyptian mummy rite' when it was exhibited in Edinburgh.

❄️🖼️James Paterson, ‘Winter in Glencairn’ (previously known as ‘Moniaive’), 1885.

Glasgow Boy James Paterson married and moved to Moniaive, south of Glasgow, in 1884. His home, ‘Kilniess’, is the cottage on the left. With its carefully organised composition, beautifully observed details and depiction of changing light effects, Paterson's assured large-scale landscape is one of his most beautiful works.

in 1973, ground was broken for the construction of the new Art Gallery on Hillhead Street at the University of Glasgow.

Laing Construction of Glasgow were awarded the contract to build the new Gallery which would also incorporate the House.

50 years later, we’re working on a full redisplay of our main gallery, reflecting new themes, ideas and approaches.

! This dreamy New Year card by Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh features a photograph of her 1901 watercolour 'The Flowery Path' mounted card and inscribed by her (or possibly Charles Rennie Mackintosh!)

The background view is closely related to studies by Mackintosh of Lindisfarne Castle, Holy Island, which the couple visited in 1901. The romantic couple perhaps refers to Macdonald and Mackintosh who married in 1900.💕

in 1720, Bonnie Prince Charlie was born in Rome. The event was celebrated in medallic form and this example from The collection at the University of Glasgow was created by Ottone Hamerani.

The message on this Jacobite medal is clear. Cradling BPC, Providence points to the prince’s divine destiny on a globe: England, Scotland and Ireland.

You'll be able to see this Jacobite medal (and many more) in our ‘Chasing the Jacobite Dream’ exhibition in June 2023! This major exhibition reveals our extensive collection of medals associated with Charles Edward Stuart, the 1745 Rising and the Battle of Culloden.

This beautiful work can be found on page 36 of sketchbook 46 which was used by Scottish artist Duncan Shanks in 1995, 2009 and 2010. Looking through his studio window, the artist has captured the frost creeping up the glass and the patterns it has created. Parts of trees and the river are also still visible.

🎄🖼️Charles Rennie Mackintosh, ‘Printed Greetings Card for Mr and Mrs Bassett-Lowke’, c.1915.

This greetings card was designed by Scottish architect, artist and designer Charles Rennie (1868–1928). Wenman J Bassett-Lowke, Mackintosh's client at 78 Derngate, Northampton, established a tradition of specially designed personal greeting cards based on and reflecting his own interests.

The ships and trains depicted allude to Bassett-Lowke's model engineering business as well as his fascination with travel.

'Workaround' is a solo exhibition featuring new and existing work by Glasgow-based artist Charlie Hammond. It's opening in a month's time in the Hunterian Art Gallery and we can't wait for you to see it! We've invited Charlie to select works from our own collection that resonate with his artistic practice, giving visitors the chance to see a wonderful selection of his own work and pieces from our permanent collection.

While we get our next contemporary show ready in the Hunterian Art Gallery, here's another chance to see 'Floating Worlds: Erraid Sound' which premiered during COP26 as part of our 'Dislocations' exhibition.

'Floating Worlds' is an ongoing multi-disciplinary exploration of our relationship with the natural environment. A collaboration between theatre-maker Graham Eatough and visual artist Andre Dekker, the project offers an artistic response to negotiations with landscape and climate amongst an ageing and sometimes isolated population. The first part of the project took place between lockdowns in 2021 and resulted this short film and a book. You can currently buy a copy of the artist publication in the Hunterian Art Gallery.
