EDITORS COMMENTS
The Barber-Surgeons Picture, (c1872) captures a significant moment in British history. In this print, we witness Henry VIII presenting a charter to Thomas Vicary, the first Master of the Company of Barbers and Surgeons in 1540. The engraving is based on an original painting by Hans Holbein, which once adorned the walls of the Barber Surgeons Hall in London. The image exudes regality as King Henry VIII bestows his royal favor upon Vicary, symbolizing the official recognition of this esteemed guild. This historic scene showcases not only the power and influence of monarchs but also highlights the importance placed on medicine during that era. Despite being badly damaged during the Great Fire of 1666, this print allows us to appreciate its grandeur and significance even centuries later. It serves as a testament to both artistry and historical documentation. Published in 'Old and New London' by Walter Thornbury, this nineteenth-century publication brings together past narratives with contemporary perspectives. Through this picture print from Heritage Images, viewers can delve into England's rich medical heritage while appreciating Holbein's masterful portrayal.
