Description: Pencil drawings found on the walls of one of the attics at 13 Norham Gardens, the Oslers' Oxford home. The top two drawings are of "Osler", probably Revere Osler, Sir William's son, and may have been done by a friend of Revere's. The bottom two depict the "Bunkification of Boers", "one of the monkeys of Ely", and "Ranking". It is thought that these three drawings were done by John Josias Conybeare, son of Frederick Cornwallis Conybeare, an Oxford orientalist and theologist, who lived at 13 Norham Gardens before the Oslers. Conybeare would have been about 12 at the time of the Boer War, accounting for the theme of one of the drawings.
