EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, plate 46 from the 'Modern Athenians' series by Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to Edinburgh in the late 19th century. The photograph, taken in 1876, captures a significant moment in the city's rich medical history as Doctor James Simson (d. 1876) approaches Professor Alexander Monro (d. 1859). Both esteemed figures were prominent members of Edinburgh's medical community during this period. James Simson, dressed in the formal attire of the time, is shown wearing a doctor's coat with a black velvet collar and a white bow tie. He served as the President of the Royal College of Surgeons, a testament to his esteemed reputation within the surgical community. Professor Alexander Monro, wearing academic gown and mortarboard, is seen standing in front of a large anatomical model. Monro was a renowned professor of Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh, and his contributions to the field were instrumental in advancing medical knowledge during the 1800s. The two men's interaction in this photograph is a reminder of the collaborative nature of medical research and education during this era. Their shared commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and the advancement of medical practices in Edinburgh and beyond left a lasting impact on the field. This photograph, taken in 1876, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the lives and work of two influential figures in Edinburgh's medical history. The image, part of the 'Modern Athenians' series by Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical resource that continues to captivate and inspire researchers and history enthusiasts alike.
