Tobias George Smollett, a renowned Scottish author and physician, is immortalized in various artworks from different periods. In the Tower of London painting by James Tibbitts Willmore in 1859, we catch a glimpse of the historical backdrop that influenced Smollett's literary works. Engraved portraits like Tobias George Smollett, MD and Tobias Smollett portray his distinguished appearance and intellectual prowess. Smollett's literary genius comes to life through captivating scenes depicted in engravings such as Captain Bowling introduced to Narcissa on May 12, 1800. This moment captures the essence of his storytelling abilities. Another engraving showcases Lieutenant Bowling passionately pleading for young Rory's cause before his grandfather on the same day. Roderick's Examination at Surgeons Hall on May 12, 1800, reveals Smollett's attention to detail and medical knowledge within his narratives. The delicate balance between humor and satire is evident in Morgan Offending The Delicate Organs of Captain Whiffle also taking place on May 12th. Although these artworks provide glimpses into Smollet's life and work during the early nineteenth century, an unknown creator encapsulates him further with their portrayal in 1830. This image serves as a testament to his enduring legacy even after his passing in 1771. Other notable figures from history are also captured alongside Smollet; Lieut. Gen.
