Art Historian Andrew Graham-Dixon examines Henry Tonks’ remarkable watercolours documenting the facial injuries suffered by servicemen during the First World War. He examines them in the context of Harold Gillies’ early experiments in plastic surgery and considers them both as works of art and aids to surgery.

The Hunterian Museum will open for a ticket-holders view of the exhibition ‘War, Art and Surgery’ from 6-7pm.
