    Object history
    The artist was a student of Dobell’s at the Royal College of Science, London. [Obituary, Mr H.G.Newth’, Nature vol.145 23 March 1940 p.454.]

    The caricature is pasted to a Royal Society Obituary Notice for Clifford Dobell bound into a volume of Dobell’s presentation reprints 1928-1949. The papers were owned by Dr Margaret W Jepps and bound in 1956 under the title Protozoa of monkeys and man. Jepps was a protozoologist who collaborated with Dobell on several papers from 1917. She was attached to the Institute for Medical Research, Kuala Lumpur, during the 1920s, sharing Dobell’s interest in parasitology. The volume also contains letters from Clifford and Monica Dobell to Miss Jepps and an inscription gives her later address as 17 Manor Court, Pinehurst, Cambridge.
