William Hunter, Scottish Anatomist and Obstetrician

William Hunter (May 23, 1718 - March 30, 1783) was a Scottish anatomist and physician. Hunter was trained in anatomy at St George's Hospital, London, specializing in obstetrics. His courtly manners and sensible judgement helped him to advance until he became the leading obstetric consultant of London. To orthopedic surgeons he is famous for his studies on bone and cartilage. In 1768 he built the famous anatomy theatre and museum in Soho, where the best British anatomists and surgeons of the period were trained. His greatest work was Anatomia uteri umani gravidi (The Anatomy of the Gravid Uterus Exhibited in Figures), with plates engraved by Rymsdyk, and published by the Baskerville Press in 1774. His guidance and training of his ultimately more famous brother, John Hunter, was also of great importance. He died in 1783, at the age of 64. Stipple Joseph Collyer, 1783.
