EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the enigmatic figure of Dr. Messenger Monsey, a renowned physician at Chelsea Hospital in London during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Born in 1693, Monsey was known for his eccentricities that often intrigued and puzzled those around him. Monsey's unconventional approach to medicine and healing set him apart from his contemporaries. He was said to have an encyclopedic knowledge of herbs and their medicinal properties, and was known to use unorthodox methods in his treatments. Monsey was also known for his love of animals, keeping a menagerie of exotic creatures in his home and using them in his medical practice when appropriate. Despite his eccentricities, Monsey was highly respected in the medical community and was a beloved figure at Chelsea Hospital. He was appointed as the hospital's physician in 1733, a position he held until his retirement in 1780. Monsey's dedication to his patients and his innovative approach to medicine earned him a reputation as a brilliant and compassionate healer. This print, created in 1788, captures Monsey in his later years, with his distinctive white wig and fur-trimmed robe. The image also includes a selection of Monsey's favorite animals, including a monkey, a parrot, and a dog, reflecting his deep connection to the natural world. Monsey's legacy continues to inspire and intrigue, and this print serves as a reminder of the unique and fascinating characters that have shaped the history of medicine. The print is a valuable historical record of a man who defied convention and made a lasting impact on the lives of his patients and the medical community.
