EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts William Walker, a remarkable individual who lived an extraordinary life spanning over three centuries. Born in 1613 and passing away in 1736 at the incredible age of 123, he witnessed and experienced more than most could ever imagine. The portrait showcases a man adorned in clothing typical of the era, his weathered face reflecting the wisdom acquired through years of existence. However, it is not just his advanced age that sets him apart; it is also his involvement in historical events such as the Battle of Edge Hill during the English Civil War. In this confrontation, Walker served loyally in the Royal Service but was left wounded with an injured arm and had two horses shot from beneath him. This battle scene serves as a testament to his resilience and bravery amidst chaos. The image raises questions about medicine and healthcare during that time period. How did Walker survive such injuries? What medical services were available to him? The mention of Asklepios (Asclepius), the Greek god associated with healing, suggests that ancient remedies may have played a role in his longevity. William Walker's story reminds us of how our ancestors faced adversity with courage and determination. It offers a glimpse into history while leaving us pondering on matters of health, aging, and human endurance.
