Description
Bust of Hippocrates (c.460-370 BC), Ancient Greek physician and philosopher. Hippocrates is considered the father of medicine. His influence survives in the Hippocratic oath, a set of medical ethics that some medical students take when they have completed their training. He founded a medical school on the Aegean island of Cos where he taught his ideas on medicine. This bust, by the Aumonier firm, was erected in 1930, on the corner of Gower Street and Gower Place, London, UK, on the building housing the medical bookshop and publisher H.K. Lewis (presented by the wife of the chairman, H.L. Jackson). The bust is based on a sculpture held at British Museum.
