The link with the murals is that at least two of Sivell’s assistants became RSAs. They were Gordon Cameron and Alberto Morrocco – two Aberdeen born artists who also contributed significantly to the landmark textbook –  Anatomy of the Human Body by Lockhart, Hamilton & Fyfe.

Professor Lockhart’s ambition was to create a book which used drawings to educate rather than words. More than 900 original drawings were required. The excellent standard of draughtsmanship will be highlighted in a display, arranged by FOSMA, in the Suttie Centre on the Foresterhill Campus of the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.Look out for further information in March
