000004621 520__ $$aDigital photograph of a large Civil War-era surgical kit. The wooden case has been opened to reveal two instrument trays. An additional two trays have been removed and set on the gray counter to either side of the case. The instruments can be seen laying in their places in the purple velvet-lined interior. The velvet-covered liner that conceals the instrument tray in the inner lid has been propped against the wall at the rear, and the manufacturers label can be seen. A ruler has been placed in the foreground for size comparison.
