Here's a page with a few of the portraits for which I have looked around on the web, but can't find any definitive ID - they are a mystery to me, and could be a bit of fun for people to stretch their investigative skills. Without more information, these images are unlikely to be of any use. These portraits are mostly from the Wellcome Collection, which means that they are related to the medical profession in some way.

Sherlock, we need help on these please!

File:Portrait of Heinrich Braun Wellcome M0005141.jpg
As far as I can see, there are two candidates, but the images on the below linked biographies do not match this one. As it is a file from the Wellcome collection it is a figure from medical history:
  • Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm Braun (January 1, 1862 – April 26 1934) was a German surgeon remembered for his work in the field of anaesthesiology bio with image and another. 2024: Wellcome states now that this is definitely not this surgeon.
  • Alexander Carl Heinrich Braun (born May 10, 1805, Regensburg, Bavaria—died March 29, 1877, Berlin), chief botanist of the “nature philosophy” school, (image and bio)

The other option is that this image is mislabeled as being "Heinrich Braun".

File:Portrait of S. Laskey. Wellcome M0000271.jpg
Looked for "S. Laskey" in relation to research, physician, medical, but not coming up with any leads. Photo dates to early 20th century I reckon? Any suggestions?
File:Portrait of Arthur Connell Wellcome M0017964.jpg
Arthur Connell, military medical personnel. Service stripes on the arms, medical pin on the collar and black armband. British army insignia on forearm? Great example of the uniform I'd say - if only we knew what it was exactly! Update: It could be en:Arthur_Connell! Except that I can't find any military service for him, and he died in 1863, so the picture looks a bit too recent? More digging... [Update]: The cap badge is the Staff Officers Royal Dragoon Cap Badge WWI. The badge on his lapel is for the RAMC. So far no luck in finding the name with that added info.
File:Portrait of Finlay Dun Wellcome L0003607.jpg
I can't find any confirmation that this is Scottish vet Finlay Dun (1830-1897), the photo also seems to be too recent for it to be him. Who is he?


I tried all sorts of searches. Liliu doesn't seem to really exist as a name. However, there are some hits in the medical field for "Lilliu" and "Lilius". But none that quite fit the mid-1950s timeline I am guessing for this photo. Tried search in combination with (Leonard Bruce-)"Chwatt" (he may have taken the photo), WHO, malaria... Who is he?
There are two men named John Abercrombie a physician (1781-1844) and a horticulturalist (1726–1806). Wellcome may have files of both, but if we assume that the first portrait is true to life for the physician, then the other two don't match either of those, really. More info needed.

Georg Winter

Wellcome states that this is historian Carl Georg Ludwig Winter (1856-1912), but the image on the biography site at his university doesn't look like the same guy --> Magdeburg university. This professor in the digital collections of Copenhagen university seems to be the same guy as the below two, but it doesn't have any further information. It may be the professor, gynaecologist, and director of the Universitats-Frauenklinik in Konigsberg de:Georg Winter (Mediziner).

what medal is this?

These three medically trained men have the same medal. It reads "founded 1856" - I presume it refers to the British Medical Association (which evolved into it in 1856, precursors notwithstanding). I cannot find it though> it has a rooster at the top, what looks like a crown and then two people with a staff of Asclepius? It's hard to make out.
