EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from 1860, the recently unveiled bust of Sir John S. Pakington, Bart. M.P., graces the hallowed halls of the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar. The grand unveiling ceremony was attended by nearly one hundred distinguished guests, including medical officers of the hospital and their families, local residents, and medical officers of Her Majesty's ships in the port and at Spithead. The marble bust, a masterpiece crafted by the renowned Italian sculptor, Baron Marochetti, is a testament to Sir John's significant contributions to the British Navy during his tenure as First Lord of the Admiralty from 1858 to 1859. The bust rests proudly atop a pedestal of red granite, inscribed with the following tribute: "This bust of the Right Hon. Sir John S. Pakington, Bart. G.C.B. is placed in Haslar Hospital by the medical officers of the Royal Navy, to record their sense of the benefits conferred upon that department of her Majesty's service during his administration." The bust's unveiling was a momentous occasion, marking the gratitude and appreciation of the medical officers towards Sir John's unwavering support and dedication to the Royal Navy. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the importance of public service and recognition were celebrated in the most enduring form - through the art of sculpture.
