Description
When Philadelphian Samuel George Morton died in 1851, no one cut off his head, boiled away its flesh and added his grinning skull to a collection of crania. It would have been strange, but perhaps fitting, had Mortona's skull wound up in a collector's cabinet, for Morton himself had collected hundreds over the course of a long career.
