EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of Thomas Willis, an influential English physician who made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of medicine. Born in 1621 and passing away in 1675, Willis was a true pioneer of his time. Notably, he was the first to observe the sweetish taste present in diabetic urine, thus shedding light on diabetes mellitus. Renowned for his extensive studies on the brain and nervous system, Willis's contributions were instrumental in advancing our understanding of these intricate systems. His remarkable achievements led him to become one of the founding members of the prestigious Royal Society—an institution that continues to shape scientific progress today. The hand-coloured engraving by George Vertue beautifully captures this distinguished scientist and physician. Published in 1742, it serves as a testament to Willis's enduring legacy within both British and global medical history. As we admire this remarkable piece from Universal Images Group (UIG), let us reflect upon Thomas Willis's immense impact on modern medicine. His keen observations revolutionized our comprehension of diabetes mellitus while furthering our knowledge about the complexities of the brain and nervous system. This image stands as a tribute to his invaluable contributions that continue to inspire generations of scientists worldwide.
