wait omg so you know how dr jekyll's house in the original novella is supposedly based off the house of john hunter?

I'm pretty sure the society for arcane sciences is based off the hunterian museum, named after the same man!!!

here's some art of the museum interior in 1842 for reference:

and a ss of the outside from google maps:

compared with these frames from tgs:

idk if it's been confirmed but if the hunterian inspired the society that's like god tier meta for location inspiration bc if so then the same guy inspired locations for the novella and the comic! :D

#the glass scientists #jekyll and hyde #like even down to the circular windows the details match up too much for a coincidence #aughhhh sage cotugno you're a geniusssss #anyway guess who's going to use his british privilege to go visit the hunterian this summer #meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
