Sir Henry Thompson Bt; Cremation. Issue 300. First edition before the bound volumes.

18-1310London: Vanity Fair 1875. Original colour lithograph. 40 x 27 cm 15.75 x 10.6 inches. Good. Some toning foxing and stains and a half inch tear at bottom edge. Letterpress clipping with biography of subject pasted on verso. Dated 1 Aug 1875. Vincent Brooks Day & Son Lith. Scarce.Sir Henry Thompson 1st Baronet FRCS 6 August 1820 – 18 April 1904 was a British surgeon and polymath. Thompson was born at Framlingham Suffolk. His father wished him to enter business but he was eventually by 1848 able to enroll in the Medical School of University College London. He obtained his medical degree in 1851 with the highest honours in anatomy and surgery. In 1853 he was appointed assistant surgeon at University College Hospital becoming full surgeon in 1863 professor of clinical surgery in 1866 and consulting surgeon in 1874. In 1884 he became professor of surgery and pathology in the Royal College of Surgeons. Specializing in surgery of the genito-urinary tract and in particular in that of the bladder he studied in Paris under Jean Civiale who in the first quarter of the 19th century had developed a procedure to crush a stone within the human bladder and who had invented an instrument for this minimally invasive surgery. After his return from Paris Thompson soon acquired a reputation. In 1863 when King Leopold I of Belgium was suffering from kidney stones Thompson was called to Brussels to consult in the case and after some difficulties was allowed to perform the operation of lithotripsy. It was successful and in recognition of his skill Thompson was appointed surgeon-extraordinary to the King an appointment which was continued by Léopold II. Nearly ten years later Thompson carried out a similar operation on the former Emperor Napoléon III; however the Emperor died four days after not from the surgical procedure as was proved by the post-mortem examination but from uremia. In 1874 Thompson helped in founding the Cremation Society of Great Britain of which he was the first president; he also did much toward the removal of the legal restrictions on cremation. He denounced the prevailing methods of death certification in Great Britain; and in 1892 a select committee was appointed to inquire into the matter; its report published the following year was generally in line with his thinking. Woking Crematorium finally became the first of its kind in the UK. Thompson's last public duty for the society in 1903 was to open Birmingham Crematorium the country's ninth. He died in April 1904; his body was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium the first in London which he had opened in 1902 London: Vanity Fair, 1875. unknown
