EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the 18th century to witness a momentous figure in English medicine - John Radcliffe. The portrait, created by Pierre Fourdrinier, showcases the esteemed physician who served as Royal Physician to not one but three monarchs: King William III, Queen Mary II, and Queen Anne. Born in Wakefield, Yorkshire in 1650, Radcliffe's impact on healthcare extended far beyond his time. His generous bequests enabled the construction of significant medical institutions such as the Radcliffe Infirmary and Observatory at Oxford. Additionally, St Bartholomew's Hospital in London was expanded thanks to his financial contributions. The engraving after a portrait by Godfrey Kneller perfectly captures Radcliffe's distinguished presence. Kneller was renowned for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with great detail and precision. As we gaze upon this image of Dr. John Radcliffe, we are reminded of the immense influence he had on both medicine and society during a transformative period in British history. His dedication to advancing healthcare practices continues to inspire generations of physicians today. This remarkable piece from the Oxford Science Archive serves as a testament to Radcliffe's legacy as well as an intriguing glimpse into England's rich medical history during the 17th and 18th centuries.
