EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of Thomas Linacre, MD, in all his scholarly glory. Painted by H Cook in 1847, this portrait immortalizes the physician to Henry VIII who left an indelible mark on the world of medicine and education. Dr. Linacre's legacy is multifaceted; not only was he a trusted physician to one of England's most renowned monarchs, but he also founded the Royal College of Physicians in 1518. His intellectual prowess extended beyond medicine as well – he was a classical scholar fluent in Greek and authored several notable works on grammar and medicine. Dressed in attire befitting his time period, Dr. Linacre exudes an air of professionalism and authority. His expression hints at both wisdom gained through experience and an insatiable thirst for knowledge that defined him as a true Renaissance man. As we gaze upon this monochrome engraving from the 19th century, we are transported back to an era where scholars like Dr. Linacre were revered for their contributions to society. This print serves as a reminder of the profound impact individuals can have when they dedicate themselves to multiple disciplines with equal fervor. The Print Collector has once again captured history within its frames, allowing us to appreciate the remarkable achievements of figures like Thomas Linacre while celebrating their enduring influence on our present-day understanding of science, education, and medicine.
