Abstract In 1895, the forty-year old Hannah im Thurn (nee Lorimer) embarked on a new life as a colonial wife in the tropics, having just married the explorer and administrator Everard im Thurn. She accompanied her husband on a two-year sojourn in British Guiana, where they lived in Morawahanna, a remote settlement near the Venezuelan frontier. This paper contributes to a broader historical geography of the field sciences by providing a glimpse into relations across the porous boundaries between the private and the public, the domestic and the official, that shaped the production of natural history knowledge in the colonial context. By piecing together evidence from family letters, photographs, drawings and sculptures produced in British Guiana, we seek to make Hannah's presence in the historical record – and in Everard's scientific and administrative life – more visible. In particular, the paper contributes to the increasing body of work on gender and science which has begun to unravel the entangled histories of personal partnerships that have shaped modern science.

地方、性别和自然历史的形成：英属圭亚那的汉娜·图恩，1895-1897

摘要 1895 年，40 岁的汉娜·伊姆·图恩 (nee Lorimer) 在与探险家兼行政官埃弗拉德·伊姆图恩结婚后，开始了热带殖民地妻子的新生活。她陪同丈夫在英属圭亚那逗留了两年，他们住在委内瑞拉边境附近的偏远定居点 Morawahanna。本文通过对私人与公共、家庭与官方之间的多孔边界关系的一瞥，为更广泛的领域科学历史地理学做出了贡献，这些关系在殖民背景下塑造了自然历史知识的产生。通过将在英属圭亚那生产的家庭信件、照片、绘画和雕塑中的证据拼凑起来，我们试图让汉娜出现在历史记录中——以及埃弗拉德 的科学和行政生活——更加明显。特别是，这篇论文对越来越多的性别和科学工作做出了贡献，这些工作已经开始解开塑造现代科学的个人伙伴关系的纠缠历史。
