The Royal College of Physicians, established in 1518 by a Royal Charter from King Henry VIII, is one of the oldest medical institutions in England. The engraving of its entrance is particularly significant as it reflects the architectural style and grandeur of the period. The College has played a crucial role in the development of medical practice and education in the United Kingdom, and its depiction in Morden's work underscores its importance in the social and professional fabric of London.

"The Entrance to the Royal College of Physicians" stands out as a testament to the institution's enduring legacy and its place within the city's historical narrative.
