EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from "A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen" by Thomas Thomson (1870) showcases the esteemed figure of John Gregory, a prominent Scottish physician and philosopher. With an air of formality, Gregory sits in a portrait pose, exuding wisdom and intellect. His three-quarter length depiction allows us to appreciate his distinguished appearance, complete with a wig that was fashionable during the era. As a highly regarded professor at both Aberdeen University (1746-1749) and Edinburgh University (1766-1773), Gregory made significant contributions to the fields of philosophy and medicine. Serving as Physician to His Majesty in Scotland further solidified his reputation as an expert in healthcare. In this illustration, we see him holding a book, symbolizing his profound knowledge and dedication to academia. His gaze looks away pensively, hinting at deep contemplation or perhaps reflecting on his vast accomplishments. The artwork transports us back in time to experience Scottish culture during the 18th century. It provides insight into the intellectual atmosphere within universities such as Edinburgh and Aberdeen while shedding light on the history of medicine. This vertical print is not only visually striking but also serves as a testament to John Gregory's remarkable legacy. It captures his distinctive hairstyle and portrays him as the mature man he was known to be—a true icon in Scottish society whose impact continues to resonate even today.
