There's always something intriguing for a historically-minded Nablers to investigate, given the adequate tools for that.
While I was organizing images, I came across one of his cabinet at Harvard (already posted to the VN-L). It may be retrieved at
The so-called Nabokov Genitalia Cabinet in his former office in the Harvard University Comparative Zoology department. (photograph from The Rarest of the Rare: Stories Behind the Treasures at the Harvard Museum of Natural History by Nancy Pick and Mark Sloan)IN A CABINET AT HARVARD: THE REMAINS OF NABOKOV'S BUTTERFLY OBSESSION by Laetitia Barbier, July 09,2013. http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/nabokovs-butterflies-at-harvard
My attention was caught by a box over which it seems that a postcard-size reproduction of a feminine profile has been glued on.
Has anyone written about this image and is there a story behind it? (see below the shelf where the box rests)?
Whose idea was it to designate the cabinet as "Nabokov's genitalia cabinet"?
