EDITORS COMMENTS
Andrew Duncan, also known as 'Kay' Duncan, was a prominent medical practitioner in Edinburgh during the late 18th century. In this evocative portrait, captured around 1785, Duncan exudes an air of authority and intelligence, reflecting his expertise in the medical field. The image provides a glimpse into the world of Edinburgh's medical community during this period, with its elegant yet austere surroundings. Duncan's career began in the 1760s when he studied under the renowned surgeon, John Rutherford. He later established his own practice in Edinburgh, where he gained a reputation for his skill and dedication to patient care. Duncan was known for his innovative approaches to medical treatment and was one of the first practitioners in Scotland to use smallpox inoculation, a preventative measure against the deadly disease. This portrait offers a rare insight into the life of a medical practitioner during the Scottish Enlightenment, a time of great intellectual and cultural advancement. The elegant furnishings and decor in the background suggest a comfortable and refined home, while the serious expression on Duncan's face conveys the gravity of his profession. The portrait also serves as a reminder of the important role that medical practitioners played in shaping the health and wellbeing of their communities during this period. Andrew Duncan's legacy as a medical pioneer continues to be celebrated in Edinburgh, with a commemorative plaque marking the site of his former practice on the Royal Exchange Square. This portrait provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a man who made a significant impact on the medical world of his time.
