New Physicians Hall, Edinburgh, 1845. Creator: Unknown
New Physicians Hall, Edinburgh, 1845. Offices of the Royal College of Physicians in Queen Street, designed by Thomas Hamilton. The top figure of the facade is that of Hygeia, the Goddess of Health. The other two represent Aesculapius and Hippocrates. They are sculptured by Mr. Alexander Ritchie.... The RCPE was formed by royal charter in 1681, which...excluded any but licentiates from practising medicine under a penalty of forty shillings...The College also had the unenviable privilege of searching and inspecting..." all drugs and medicine...and such as shall be found bad and unwholesome shall be thrown into the streets and destroyed." Probably, from the unpleasant nature of a duty, which involved the emptying of such slops as apothecaries of old dealt in, the learned body have for a long time discontinued the exercise of this privilege. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the New Physicians Hall in Edinburgh, Scotland, as it stood in 1845. Designed by Thomas Hamilton, this magnificent building served as the offices of the Royal College of Physicians located on Queen Street. The top figure adorning its facade is none other than Hygeia, the Goddess of Health, while Aesculapius and Hippocrates are represented by two other sculptures crafted by Mr. Alexander Ritchie. The Royal College of Physicians was established by royal charter back in 1681, with a strict rule that only licentiates were permitted to practice medicine under penalty of forty shillings. Additionally, the college had an unusual responsibility - inspecting all drugs and medicines available at that time. Any found to be bad or unwholesome would be discarded onto the streets and destroyed. However, due to the unpleasant nature of this duty involving unsavory substances dealt with by apothecaries in those times, it appears that this privilege has long been discontinued by the learned body. This engraving from "Illustrated London News" provides us with a glimpse into both architectural beauty and medical history during the Victorian era. It serves as a testament to Edinburgh's rich educational institutions and neoclassical architecture prevalent throughout Britain during this period.
