Defining Features by Ludmilla Jordanova
Portraiture as a genre is receiving increased attention at the same time that public curiosity about science is reaching unprecedented levels. This title charts changing attitudes towards medical practice and scientific investigation.
'Beautifully produced.. she succeeds in stimulating fresh discussion of scientific portraiture. After this, we will all look with keener eyes at those familiar portraits that adorn the walls of the Royal Society or hang in splendour, tier upon tier, in the Royal College of Physicians.' - Lisa Jardine, Nature
