Portrait of Lt. General Augustus Henry Lane Fox Pitt Rivers (1827-1900)
A portrait of one of the leading anthropologists and archaeologists of the Victorian age. He is regarded as having been a generation ahead of his time and is often described as the father of scientific archaeology. In 1975 the Museum was gifted, by HM Treasury, the Wessex collections amassed by the General after he inherited the Rushmore Estate on Cranborne Chase.
