Victorian Surgical Instruments

I recently bought what was labelled as, “Victorian Dissection Set”, but I was wondering if it actually was what it was listed as. I have been getting different answers from different sources with some saying it was for eye surgery, and some saying it was a dissection set, but I just am hoping for a specialist in the identification of Victorian/19th century surgical instruments. If you have any answers, please comment or let me know.

Thanks

Some sort of medical set from the Victorian Era. (Kent, England)

I have just ordered this peculiar set of instruments with either bone handles or ivory, but I can’t be certain what they were used for. The seller listed them as a dissection set, but I am getting different results from the internet. They haven’t arrived yet, but I am keen to try and find out what they are and what they were used for in the Victorian era. If you have an answer, I’d really appreciate it if you could share it with me.

Thanks

Scouting for a similar composer my age and my personality to collab with me.

Hi!

I’m 16M who is obsessed with musicals and history and I was wondering if there were any composers on here who are around the same age as I who would be willing to collaborate with me on some musical ideas I have.

It won’t be all of them as we’d try and find the best out of them all, but I was just searching for a composer who is interested in the same kind of thing as me.

One of the ideas I have in mind is about Robert Liston. I’d want to make it both historically accurate, and comedic at the same time. I believe that history is best taught when there is interaction and genuine interest being provided.

The musical would take place in one location during one evening/day… the day when the infamous 300% mortality rate story occurred (if it did).

I am very creative in writing, and I do love music and have composed before, but I’d much prefer someone who has the absolute skill to compose and is confident as I am not the greatest composer.

I’m also willing to discuss all my favourite music with you and listen to yours. As a gay person myself, I’d love to work with a similar person, but I’m primarily just scouting for someone who is expressive, loves composing, and is passionate about musicals.

P.S, my favourite musical writers would be Gilbert & Sullivan, Weill & Brecht, and Kander & Ebb. Also, as there were lingering baroque influences in the era of Liston, I’d appreciate it if you were able or comfortable with writing baroque music (it won’t be fully baroque, but there may be some baroque hints in the background etc).

I also would prefer it if you were confident in English as I, unfortunately, don’t speak any other languages (I wish I could). Sorry for any inconvenience.
