SUMMARY
Wellcome Collection catalogue record (work p482g3gb), catalogued under Gully's name, for a wood engraving Wellcome Collection marks Public Domain Mark. Direct inspection of the downloaded image (2026-08-02) shows the print is in fact a multi-figure newspaper composite of six individuals connected to the 1876 Charles Bravo poisoning inquest: portrait vignettes of Florence Bravo, Charles Bravo, a figure identified as Father Joseph, Mrs Campbell, Mrs Coy (or Cox), and, in the bottom-right position, a small balding portrait identified as Dr Gully, surrounded by handwritten-style excerpts of inquest testimony, including a line attributed to Mrs Coy describing Gully in complimentary terms as a hydropathic doctor. The archive's own title names Gully as the subject; the image content is a period illustration of the Bravo case dramatis personae rather than an isolated portrait, and is captioned accordingly.
NOTES
A period newspaper-style composite wood engraving illustrating figures in the 1876 Charles Bravo poisoning inquest, including a small portrait of Gully among Florence Bravo, Charles Bravo, and other figures connected with the inquest. Used as the artifact image for the disconfirmation section, directly illustrating the scandal that destroyed Gully’s professional standing four years after he had retired his practice in 1872.
