"Conquerors of Yellow Fever: Dr. Carlos Finlay and the Battle in Cuba" In the early 1900s, a deadly disease known as yellow fever plagued the island of Cuba. Among those who dedicated their lives to finding a cure was Cuban physician Dr. Carlos Finlay. Alongside him stood U. S. Army surgeon Dr. Walter Reed, both determined to eradicate this devastating illness. In an iconic painting by Dean Cornwell, we witness these heroes in action as they observe Dr. Jesse Lazear inoculating Dr. James Carroll for yellow fever after the Spanish-American War in c1940. Dr. Carlos Juan Finlay, renowned Cuban biologist, played a pivotal role in understanding how mosquitoes transmitted this lethal virus – his groundbreaking research on the subject sparked hope for a brighter future. Meanwhile, across continents and cultures, other individuals bearing the name "Finlay" left their own mark on history: From Gika-Gika Pottery's exquisite craftsmanship to James Finlay & Co's influential advert from Glasgow, Scotland – each showcasing talent and innovation within their respective fields. Sir Robert Bannatyne Finley QC made waves with his legal expertise around 1907 while Sir Robert Finlay commanded respect within his chambers during that same era - both leaving indelible impressions on British society. Group Captain Donald Don Osborne Finlay not only represented Great Britain but also excelled as an Olympic hurdler in 1935 - proving that determination knows no bounds. The artistic realm embraced talents like painter Finlay Lewis whose captivating portrait of a young woman captured hearts between 1902-1903 with its timeless beauty and grace. Lastly, let us not forget about Robert Viscount Finlay whose contributions shaped history itself - forever etching his name into the annals of time. Through various disciplines and endeavors spanning different eras and geographies, those bearing the name "Finlay" have left an enduring legacy worth celebrating.
