STATUE OF JOHN HUNTER, BY H. WEEKES, R.A., IN THE EXHIBITION OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Statue of John Hunter, by H. Weekes, R.A., in the Exhibition of the Royal Academy, 1864. 'John Hunter...is, by common consent of his successors, esteemed the greatest man that ever practised surgery amongst us...by indefatigable industry and by concentrating upon his subsequent studies a mind that was at once eminently practical and philosophical, he mastered all that was then learnt of physiology, comparative anatomy, and the allied sciences...His wonderful museum, the nucleus of the grand collection of the Royal College of Surgeons, in Lincoln's- inn-fields, was sold at his death to Government for £15,000, in order to pay the debts which he had incurred by its formation...a public subscription...[of] a thousand guineas, [was raised] for a monument to his memory... and the result is the very fine statue...[by Mr. Henry Weekes, R.A. which] is now at the Royal Academy; but will be placed...in the Museum of the College of Surgeons. The sculptor's authority for the likeness was the well- known portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds...The statue is somewhat above life-size...A scroll of paper at the feet, with the outlines of several skulls engraved upon it...serve to indicate the direction of [Hunter's] thoughts and the nature of his researches'.

RESTORATIVE TREATMENT OF THE APPARENTLY DROWNED:...SILVESTER'S METHOD OF INDUCING RESPIRATION, 1864. CREATOR: DALZIEL BROTHERS.
Restorative treatment of the apparently drowned: Dr Silvester's method of inducing respiration, 1864. Illustrations for '...instructions for the revival of persons apparently drowned, which the Royal National Life-boat Institution has lately compiled...Inspiration; expiration... The points to be aimed at are - first and immediately, the restoration of breathing; and, secondly, after breathing is restored, the promotion of warmth and circulation. The efforts to restore breathing must be commenced immediately and energetically, and persevered in for one or two hours, or until a medical man has pronounced that life is extinct. Efforts to promote warmth and circulation, beyond removing the wet clothes and drying the skin, must not be made until the first appearance of natural breathing. For if circulation of the blood be induced before breathing has recommenced, the restoration to life will be endangered...If there be only slight breathing or no breathing, or if the breathing fail, then, to excite breathing, turn the patient well and instantly on the side, supporting the head, and excite the nostrils with snuff, hartshorn, and smelling salts, or tickle the throat with a feather, if they are at hand.' From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Restorative treatment of the apparently drowned:...Silvester's method of inducing respiration, 1864. Creator: Dalziel Brothers.

SIR RUTHERFORD ALCOCK K.C.B., OUR ENVOY PLENIPOTENTIARY IN JAPAN..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Sir Rutherford Alcock K.C.B., our Envoy Plenipotentiary in Japan, from a photograph by F. Beato, of Yokohama, 1864. 'The opening of Japan to English commerce is a most beneficial achievement of the last ten years. No small part of the merit of this result is due to the exertions of Sir Rutherford Alcock, formerly the British Consul at Simoda, and now her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of the Tycoon. Captain Sherard Osborn, in his pleasant little volume of "Japanese Fragments," relates the events of 1853, when the American squadron of Commodore Perry had so intimidated the rulers of Japan, that they were fain to grant access for foreign vessels to the ports of Hakodadi and Simoda, though no relaxation was yet allowed of the jealous restrictions upon foreign trade. It was, we believe, by the efforts of Mr. Harris, the American Consul, and of Mr. Rutherford Alcock, the English Consul...that the hostility of the Japanese official authorities was overcome, and a way prepared for the conclusion of the international treaty. Sir Rutherford Alcock, K.C.B., having received the honour of knighthood with his present diplomatic appointment, during his sojourn at home last year, has lately returned to Japan'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Sir Rutherford Alcock K.C.B., our Envoy Plenipotentiary in Japan..., 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
