Lettering continues: "High oe'r the gaping crowd, on market day. While Andrew drolls the blockheads pence away, see the bold rogue pretending to restore, loves long lost fountain, that must flow no more. To heal wounds, or ease the raging gum, and [cure] all ills - past, present and to come. With balm Hippocrates had neir in use, powder of post commix'd, with fat of goose. Thus melts the coin obtain'd by labours rules. That cunning knaves may thrive and laugh at fools thus bashless impudence provokes to give, while modest merit means the means to live."]]> https://wellcomecollection.org/works/pga6a4sw]]> 1 print : etching, with aquatint and watercolour ; image 18.5 x 48.2 cm

The operation of a hernia, which Stromayr describes is extremely similar to a mastectomy of the period (non-operative) in which the surgeon would loop a thread around the maligned area and gradually strangulate it until the strangled area would scar and drop off.

There are various versions of these prints, and their authenticity is hard to ascertain ]]> ]]> The members of the company, in contrast, were conceived as individuals.
On the King’s right side are his two physicians, Dr. John Chambers and Sir William Butts and his apothecary Thomas Alsop.
The figures of Sir William Butts and the doctor John Chambers are closely related to portraits of them by Holbein (left), though the overpainting has made this less clear (art historian John Rowlands reproduces an infra-red photograph of the underdrawing).
On the King’s left side are his Serjeant-Surgeon, Thomas Vicary (Master 1530, 1541, 1546, 1548, 1557); (in the final version:his surgeons, Sir John Ayliffe (Master 1538), James Monforde (Warden 1540, 1543) and Richard Ferris (Master 1551, 1562) and his barbers, Nicholas Simpson (Master 1537), Edmund Harman (Master 1540), and John Penn (Master 1539). Others portrayed and named are Nicholas Alcock, Christopher Salmon (Master 1552) and William Tilley (Warden 1540, 1546)).

Beneath the overpainting and additions (such as the windows) by later hands, this cartoon reveals Holbein's original conception for the final work.
The painting itself, however, departs markedly from it in places, for example in the second row of figures on the right and in the background.[2] It was for a long time believed that this version was a copy, but X-rays have revealed that, under the paint, the paper is pricked all over, following the outlines of the composition. This shows that it was used to mark up the original version of the painting.
