Joseph Lister, British surgeon
Joseph Lister (1827-1912), British surgeon. Lister qualified as a surgeon in London in 1852. At that time surgery was usually followed by infection and high mortality rates. Lister, having read Pasteurs work on fermentation, realised that micro-organisms causing this could be killed with chemical compounds. Listers antiseptic procedures produced immediate improvements and were quickly adopted. Lister was made a baronet (1883), baron (1897) and a member of the Order of Merit (1902). This 1922 work by H. Blackburn Hart is based on the 1897 portrait by British artist Walter William Ouless (1848-1933)

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed British surgeon, Joseph Lister, whose groundbreaking contributions revolutionized the field of medicine. Born in 1827, Lister's remarkable career spanned a crucial period in medical history when surgery was plagued by rampant infections and alarmingly high mortality rates. Having studied Pasteur's work on fermentation, Lister had a visionary insight that would change surgical practices forever. He realized that chemical compounds could effectively eliminate the microorganisms responsible for post-surgical infections. Implementing his antiseptic procedures with unwavering dedication, Lister witnessed immediate improvements in patient outcomes. Captured beautifully by H. Blackburn Hart in 1922, this portrait is based on Walter William Ouless' earlier rendition from 1897. It portrays Lister as a distinguished figure seated at his desk, surrounded by books symbolizing knowledge and progress. Lister's exceptional achievements were recognized throughout his lifetime; he was honored as a baronet in 1883 and later became a baron (1897) while also being appointed to the prestigious Order of Merit (1902). His tireless efforts not only saved countless lives but also propelled advancements in hygiene and surgical techniques that continue to shape modern healthcare practices. This extraordinary artwork serves as an enduring tribute to Joseph Lister's indelible legacy—a testament to his relentless pursuit of scientific innovation and unwavering commitment to improving human well-being through medical breakthroughs.
