Jonathan Hutchinson (Fig. (Fig.1a,1a, b), London surgeon of the latter half of the 19th century, was an exceptionally astute clinical observer. He was, furthermore, an assiduous and prolific recorder of observations over a wide range of fields. In his prime he did for many years all the onerous work of a surgeon at the London Hospital. He was president of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1888, and is said to have still been doing mastectomies at age 70. But he also worked at the Moorsfield Eye Hospital and in 1863 published a monograph entitled “A Clinical Memoir on Certain Diseases of the Eye and Ear, consequent on Inherited Syphilis,” containing early fundus portraits prepared by his long-time artist-illustrator Edwin Burgess, scarcely a decade after the invention of the ophthalmoscope. In addition, he worked at Blackfriar's Skin Hospital and was president of an international congress of dermatology (1896). He was a mentor and collaborator of pioneer neurologist Hughlings Jackson and president of the Neurological Society in 1887.
