Sir Erasmus Wilson, F.R.S., 1881. Engraving from a photograph taken at Claudet's Studio. 'This eminent member of the profession of surgery and munificent public benefactor was not long ago distinguished afresh by his liberality and enterprise in paying the cost, £10,000, as at first estimated, of bringing "Cleopatra's Needle" from Alexandria to London...He is the author of several anatomical and medical works; but his most important treatises are those which relate to cutaneous diseases. Among these are "Diseases of the Skin," "On the Management of the Skin as a Means of Promoting and Preserving Health," "Portraits of Diseases of the Skin," "Lectures and Papers on Diseases of the Skin, and Cutaneous Syphilis," and other scientific works. He is also the author of..."Cleopatra Needle, with Brief Notes on Egypt and Egyptian Obelisks"...In 1869 he presented to the Royal College of Surgeons...the sum of £5000 for the endowment of a professorship of dermatology...He now holds the high office of President of the Royal College of Surgeons...The Queen has been pleased to confer upon him the honour of knighthood'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
