EDITORS COMMENTS
This trade card features a portrait of Charles Peter (c.1648-17??), a renowned surgeon of the 17th and 18th centuries, based in St. Martin's Lane near Long Acre, London. At the age of 57, Peter is depicted in this image, exuding confidence and professionalism. He served a distinguished career in the medical field, holding significant royal appointments during turbulent times. During the Dutch Wars, Peter earned the title of Surgeon to King Charles II. Following the monarch's restoration to the throne in 1660, Peter continued to serve in a prominent role as Surgeon of the Horseguards under King James II. Later, he was appointed Surgeon of the Household to King William III. The trade card reflects the prestige and status that came with Peter's royal appointments. The elegant design, with its intricate border and detailed illustration, underscores the importance of his position in British society during the 1700s. The card serves as a testament to Peter's skill, dedication, and the trust he earned from the monarchs he served. Charles Peter's career spanned various historical milestones, including the Restoration, the Glorious Revolution, and the reigns of three monarchs. His legacy as a skilled surgeon and a trusted advisor to the royal court continues to be celebrated in the annals of medical history.
