William Upcott was a renowned antiquarian and collector who painstakingly recovered numerous rare historical and literary documents from the past. Among his most prized possessions was John Evelyn's 'Diary', a treasured artifact that shed new light on the lives of prominent figures in history. Following his untimely demise, the greater part of his impressive collection was graciously accepted by the esteemed British Museum, where it remains a valuable resource for historians and scholars today. This incredible object can be downloaded from its base here, allowing enthusiasts to access and study it up close. As part of the ambitious "Scan The World" initiative, this object is contributing to a vast digital archive of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks, and landmarks from around the globe, all freely available to the public.
