This is a surgical instrument set and case by Whitford London, dating from the late 18th or early 19th century. Surgeons were carried on many slave ships. They were mostly involved in disease control and examining captives to assess their health. They rarely used their medical instruments. Alexander Falconbridge was one surgeon who witnessed the horrors of slavery and gave evidence in support of the abolition campaign.
