چکیده
JUST OVER one hundred years ago, in August 188 1, there took place in London the 7th International Medical Congress, arguably the greatest and most historic medical congress ever held. As part of the social programme, Baroness Burdett-Coutts held a garden party at her Highgate home, Holly Lodge, at which she received the most eminent British and foreign participants in the Congress. This special occasion was recorded in a large group-portrait painting, which now hangs in the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, London (Fig. 2). Little has been previously known about this interesting painting and there does not appear to exist any key which would facilitate identification of the ninety-four persons portrayed. This paper describes how the painting came to be executed for Baroness BurdettCoutts, tells the story of the Baroness, the artist, and the provenance of the painting, and attempts to identify as many as possible of the Congress participants portrayed.
