Biography:
William Clift (1775-1849)
Clift was apprenticed to John Hunter the celebrated physcian as an anatomical assistant at his house in Leicester Square, on 14 February 1792, employed to make drawings, copy dictation and assist in the care of Hunter’s anatomical specimens. Until Hunter’s death in 1793, Clift assisted him with dissections and often wrote from dictation from early morning until late at night.
William Clift was well known and highly thought of in the scientific community. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1823. His skills as an illustrator were demonstrated through his work for Matthew Baillie’s “A series of engravings… to illustrate the morbid anatomy of some of the most important parts of the human body,” and also his work on illustrations in Sir Everard Home’s numerous papers in the Philosophical Transactions.
