EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving captures the distinguished face of Professor Francis Maitland Balfour, a renowned Scottish embryologist from the 19th century. With his neatly groomed moustache and intelligent gaze, he exudes an air of wisdom and authority. As the brother of Conservative statesman AJ Balfour, Francis Balfour was not only a man of science but also had political connections. Tragically, his life was cut short in 1882 when he met his untimely demise during a mountaineering accident on Mont Blanc in the Alps. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of his brilliance and contributions to the field of biology. Professor Balfour's dedication to embryology is evident in this image, reflecting his passion for unraveling the mysteries surrounding human development. His work paved the way for future advancements in this scientific discipline. The print provides us with a glimpse into 19th-century Britain, showcasing both its intellectual pursuits and adventurous spirit. It stands as a testament to Scotland's rich history in producing great minds like Professor Balfour. Captured by Arthur Balfour himself or an unknown creator, this photograph preserves not only Professor Francis Maitland Balfour's likeness but also pays homage to his legacy as an esteemed physician and scientist.
