This lithographic print is based on an original watercolor by Thomas Rowlandson now in the collection of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. It is believed to depict William Hunter (1718-1783) leading students in anatomical dissections in his house on Windmill Street. His brother, John Hunter (1728-1793), said, "He was the first in great Britain that taught publickly dissections; for prior to this time, no pupil could get a subject, but what he could procure of himself, and when he ventured to get one, there was no one to instruct him."
