William Lawrence, an eminent figure in the field of surgery and anatomy, was immortalized in an engraving by J. Cochran, featured in The National Portrait Gallery, Volume II, published circa 1820 by Henry Wyatt. Lawrence, born on July 16, 1783, in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, England, was a pioneering surgeon whose contributions significantly advanced medical science during the early 19th century. He was particularly renowned for his work in ophthalmology and his progressive views on medical education and practice.

Lawrence's medical career began with an apprenticeship under the distinguished surgeon John Abernethy at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London. His exceptional skills and dedication quickly earned him a reputation as a leading surgeon. In 1815, he was appointed as a surgeon at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, a position he held with distinction for many years. Lawrence's lectures and writings on surgery and anatomy were highly influential, and he was a key figure in the establishment of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, where he served as President in 1824 and again in 1830.

One of Lawrence's most notable works was his "Treatise on Hernia," published in 1807, which provided comprehensive insights into the diagnosis and treatment of hernias. His contributions to ophthalmology were also significant, particularly his studies on the anatomy and diseases of the eye. Lawrence's progressive views extended beyond his medical practice; he was an advocate for the humane treatment of patients and the importance of scientific research in advancing medical knowledge.

The engraving by J. Cochran captures Lawrence's distinguished presence and intellectual demeanor, reflecting his status as a leading figure in the medical community. The National Portrait Gallery's inclusion of Lawrence in its collection underscores his lasting impact on the field of surgery and his enduring legacy as a pioneer of modern medical practice.
