拍品專文
Henry Hoste Henley was a descendent of Robert Henley of Taunton, who acquired vast estates in Somerset, Dorset and Devon between 1576 and 1613. The marriage of his father Henry Henley and Susanna Hoste in 1752 led to the acquisition of the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. As Lord of the Manor of Colway, he famously acquired a skeleton of a 'lizard porpoise' (recognized today as an Ichthyosaur), which had been exumed by the female fossilist Mary Anning. Henley deposited it at the new London Museum of Natural History, from which it was acquired by the British Museum in 1819.
