John Hunter, 1786. Artist: WO Geller

John Hunter, 1786. Scottish surgeon and anatomist whose series of lectures on the theory and practice of surgery attracted numerous students, including Edward Jenner, Astley Cooper, and John Abernethy, who would continue his methods. He counted Sir Joshua Reynolds and Joseph Hayden among his friends. After his sudden death his manuscripts were destroyed, but his collection was bought by the nation and acquired by the College of Surgeons in 1800
