Abstract
Arthur Smith Woodward's wife, Maud, recorded scientific visitors invited to
their home between 1894 and 1944, on an embroidered tablecloth. The tablecloth
contains 342 signatures covering a 50-year period. It forms a unique and
fascinating historical record including many of the great figures of late
nineteenth and early twentieth century biology, geology and palaeontology from
around the world. Many other professionals, amateurs and collectors are also
represented.
