This bust of John Hunter (1728 - 1793), the founder of scientific surgery, whose museum is housed in the Royal College of Surgeons of England is a gift of the President and Council of the College made in 1977 to record their appreciation of the pleasure and satisfaction that the college's long association with Lincoln's Inn Fields (since 1796) has given to successive generations of fellows, members, students and staff: and to mark the celebrations of the Silver Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Visitor and Honorary Fellow of the College.
