EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the esteemed Scottish surgeon, John Hunter, who is considered one of the greatest scientists and surgeons of his time. Born in 1728 in East Lanarkshire, Hunter's legacy lives on through his groundbreaking work in anatomy and surgery.
After studying at St George's and St Bartholomew's hospitals, Hunter went on to assist his brother William at his anatomy school in London. He later served as a surgeon in the British Army, where he built a remarkable collection of anatomical preparations.
Hunter's dedication to advancing medical knowledge led him to be appointed as a Surgeon Extraordinary to King George III. His contributions were so significant that after his death in 1793, the government bought his entire collection for £13,500.
This print from Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans offers a glimpse into the life and work of this influential figure in medical history. From assisting his brother to serving as a respected surgeon for the British Army, John Hunter's impact on the field of medicine continues to be felt today.
