EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of William Bowman, an eminent English anatomist, surgeon, and ophthalmologist. Born in Nantwich, Cheshire in 1816, Bowman's remarkable journey in the field of medicine began at Birmingham General Hospital before he relocated to Kings College Hospital in London in 1837.

In 1846, Bowman joined Moorfields Ophthalmic Hospital where he swiftly established himself as a leading authority on ocular health and became renowned as a skilled ophthalmic surgeon. His contributions to the medical community were duly recognized when he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1841.

The accolades continued for this brilliant mind when he was bestowed with a baron title in 1884 for his outstanding achievements. This photograph serves as a testament to Bowman's significant impact on both British and international medicine during his illustrious career spanning over five decades. From Men of Mark (London, 1880), this image immortalizes William Bowman's legacy—a man whose tireless dedication revolutionized our understanding of anatomy while leaving an indelible mark on surgical practices and advancements within ophthalmology.
