Positioned on the far left of the image, Bancroft is accompanied by two esteemed doctors, Dr. Ware and Dr. Thomas Bradley. The photograph is a detailed section from an engraved group portrait of the founders of the Medical Society of London, created by Samuel Medley in 1801. Edward Bancroft's story unfolds as one filled with secrecy and intrigue. Serving as both a respected physician and a spy for both sides during the American Revolution, he played a pivotal role in gathering intelligence for British forces while maintaining his position within American society.
