Description
Abscess of a canine intestine observed by John Shipton on 20 November 1702. The inscription, 'Fig. 5. let this be reverst on the copper plate' is an instruction to reverse the image onto the plate, so that the left/right orientation of the original is retained in the printed version. The verso of this drawing shows marks of tracing. The figure was printed in John Shipton, 'Observatio de portione intestini canis feliciter abscissa', Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, vol. 23, no. 283 (1703), pp. 1299-303.
John Shipton (1680–1748) was apprenticed for seven years to William Pleahill, before being admitted to the freedom of the Company of Barber–Surgeons on 7 March 1703 (ODNB).
