EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Thomas Masterman Winterbottom, a distinguished physician and philanthropist of his time. Painted by William Overend Geller, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of Dr. Winterbottom's intellect and dedication to his profession. Born in South Shields in 1766, Dr. Winterbottom was the eldest among seven siblings. He pursued higher education at prestigious universities such as Edinburgh and Glasgow before being appointed as a physician to the Colony of Sierra Leone in 1792. After returning to his hometown in 1796, he settled in Westoe Village where he established his medical practice at the bustling Market Place. Dr. Winterbottom's commitment extended beyond medicine; he immersed himself in intellectual pursuits and charitable endeavors throughout his life.

In this remarkable portrait, Dr. Winterbottom is depicted seated at an elegant desk adorned with books and papers—a testament to his scholarly nature. A feather quill rests delicately between his fingers, symbolizing both knowledge and creativity.
