This illustration comes from "Mare of London" published in 1809. The author is a well -known British painter and writer William Paine. He is also one of the founders of the Royal Watercolor Association.

This painting depicts the scene of the doctor at the Royal Internal Medicine College at the meeting.This physician college was founded in the early 16th century and was the oldest royal medical school in the world.At that time, there was almost no formal supervision of the medical industry. Many people who claimed to be "doctors" had no training or medical knowledge to treat patients, which led many people to die in the hands of these so -called "doctors."

At that time, the British King Henry VIII, his private doctor Lenakley clearly realized that this situation must be stopped.So he asked the king to establish a medical school.On September 23, 1518, the Department of Medicine College was officially established by the royal family.This college sends a license to those who practice qualified and punish those who have malfeasance.
