Iohannes Freind M.D. Serenissimae Reginae Carolinae Archiatrus. Cui suas Artes sua dona laetus Et Lyram, et Venae Salientis Ictum. Scire concessit, celerem et Medendi Delius Usum.
M. Dahl pinx. G. Vertur Sculpsit 1730.
Etching and engraving. 325 x 190mm. 12¾ x 7½". Cut, some creasing.
John Freind (1675-1728) was an English physician and headmaster of Westminster School. In 1704 he was appointed a lecturer on chemistry at Oxford after proving his scientific attainments by various treatises; in 1705 he published his 'Prelectiones Chimicae', which he dedicated to Sir Isaac Newton. In 1722 he entered the House of Commons as MP for Launceston in Cornwall, but, being suspected of favouring the cause of the exiled Stuarts, he spent half of that year in the Tower of London. During his imprisonment he drew up the plan for his ‘History of Physic’ which appeared in 1725. In 1726 he was appointed physician to Queen Caroline, an office which he held until his death. Seated at a table, with a pedestal next to him with a bust of Hippocrates.

Engraving, sheet 210 x 135mm (8¼ x 5¼"). Trimmed inside platemark; printer's crease lower left; glued to backing sheet at corners.
Ambrose Godfrey, the elder (1660-1741), chemist. Born in Germany, after moving to England Godfrey first worked for Robert Boyle, and distinguished himself by learning the difficult skill of isolating white phosphorus. Godfrey kept his means of doing so a secret, and maintained a monopoly on his method for over forty years until in old age he disclosed his secret. Godfrey was also employed at Apothecaries' Hall, became a Fellow of the Royal Society and began his own chemical and pharmaceutical trade. One of his more unusual discoveries was the 'fire annihilator', a wooden barrel containing an aqueous solution surrounding a pewter container of gunpowder. In 1723 he successfully demonstrated that the device, when detonated in a burning building (it had a pipe and fuse attached) extinguished the fire by the explosion and dispersed water. Bust after a painting by the Zurich born Rudolph Schmutz (1670-15), a pupil of Kneller, who was in London from 1702 until his death.

Engraved March 1st. 1831, for Mr. Curtis's Treatise on Diseases of the Ear.
Mezzotint, with large margins. Plate 171 x 140mm. 6¾ x 5½". Rare.
Dr William Harvey (1578-1657) was court physician to James I and Charles I, and best known for his discovery of the principle of blood circulation. His 'De Motu Cordis et Sanguinis', 1628, identified the heart as a pump, central to the flow of blood. He also conducted work in embryology and argued that life arose from the egg and was not spontaneously generated as previously thought.

He is better known for his epigrammatic poems, but he spent a lot of his life writing textbooks and compiling encyclopaedias. He taught at both the University of Leipzig and of Göttingen, the latter of which he was also later appointed director of the observatory. In 1789 he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society, and the crater Kästner on the Moon is named after him.
