Portraits of Dr. William Harvey

"Portraits of Dr. William Harvey" by the Royal Society of Medicine is a biography of Dr. William Harvey with a collection of his genuine portraits. The contemporary portraits of Harvey are more numerous than was expected, either because 'the honest little Doctor' liked to have his picture painted, or, as is the more likely, because he could not resist the importunity of artists whom he must often have desired to help pecuniarily.
