EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned English physician, William Withey Gull. Born in Colchester, Essex in 1816, Gull's brilliance and dedication to medicine propelled him to great heights within the field. After studying at Guys Hospital in London, he graduated as a Bachelor of Medicine (MB) in 1841 and later earned his Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree in 1846. Gull's affiliation with Guys Hospital remained steadfast throughout his life as he served as a consulting physician there until his passing. His clinical expertise and keen observations led to significant contributions to medical knowledge. In 1873, he distinguished and described the cretinoid state in adults known as myxoedema - a condition caused by thyroid deficiency that typically manifests during middle age. The accompanying cartoon by Ape (Carlo Pellegrini), published on December 18th, 1875, adds an artistic touch to this historical piece. The chromolithograph from Vanity Fair captures Gull's essence while highlighting his notable achievements. This print not only pays tribute to one of Britain's most esteemed physicians but also serves as a reminder of the advancements made within the medical field over time. It is an invaluable visual representation of Dr. William Withey Gull's legacy that continues to inspire future generations of doctors and researchers alike.
