JOHN HUNTER
JOHN HUNTER
29 August 1737 – 13 March 1821
The FIRST FLEET & second Governor of Sydney, NSW
Hunter was an officer in the English Royal Navy, a sailor and a scholar.
Hunter was born in Leith, Scotland, the son of a captain who lived with his uncle in King’s Lynn, Norfolk and Edinburgh. Instead of attending University he chose a career in the navy.
The First Fleet was planned to transport convicts from Great Britain to Sydney, Australia to start a new colony. During preparations, Hunter was appointed captain in 1786 to command the ship, HMS Sirius. The First Fleet was under the command of Arthur Phillip who was to govern the first colony of NSW. The First Fleet arrived at Port Jackson January 1788.
Hunter explored the Parramatta River in 1788 which may have been the first time there was contact between the British and the Australian aboriginal people of the Wangal Clan.
In 1789, he was sent to gain supplies, the voyage was difficult, and the ship was caught in a storm whilst anchored and was driven into a coral reef and became wrecked. Some of the crew returned to Port Jackson on the HMS Supply, the remainder, including Hunter waited nearly a year in Norfolk Island before they could leave. Hunter and some of his men returned to England where he published his work about his travels.
Arthur Phillip resigned, and Hunter was made governor in 1794. He left England and returned to Sydney in September 1795 on HMS Reliance and started working on 11 September. During his absence, those in Sydney struggled, especially the convicts who were cruelly exploited. The military gained control of courts, lands, stores and convict labour. Even though Hunter was described as professional and a worthy man, it was his job to restore balance, with this he made enemies and complaints about him were sent to those in charge in England. He was recalled to England in 1799, and Philip Gidley King became governor in 1880.
Hunter remained interested in Australia whilst in Leith. He died in his London Georgian terrace, Hackney in 1821, aged 83.
His name is commemorated in the Hunter Valley and Hunter Street, Sydney.

16th October 1793, death of Scottish surgeon and founder of pathological anatomy in England John Hunter. Hunter taught and worked alongside Edward Jenner in developing the smallpox vaccine, and is probably better known to history for his anatomy theatre and museum built in 1768, in Great Windmill Street, Soho, London. Displayed at the museum was the bones of "The Irish Giant" Charles Byrne. Charles Byrne who upon his death in 1783, had specified that his body be encased in a lead coffin and buried at sea to avoid being exhibited and anatomised after his death. Byrne’s body however was snatched on its way to the coast, allegedly by body snatchers in the employment of John Hunter. Displayed alongside Hunters collection of other corpses of executed criminals, Byrne’s bones passed to the Royal College of Surgeons in London, where they controversially remain on display, despite public pressure to honour Byrne’s 200 year wish to be buried at sea. Another controversy surrounding John Hunter was suggested In 2010, when it was claimed that he obtained pregnant women for anatomical study by paying for their murders. The claims however were heavily criticized and dismissed by medical historians. Images shown are original and are available for sale on the website. See link in bio. The Tarot Cards are from the Ofgrave Concern Industrial Sublime Tarot. An historically inspired original Tarot Deck. Shown are Burke and Hare, the resurrection men, Dr. Edward Jenner, the pioneer of the smallpox vaccine, and the gothic playwright Joanna Baillie, who was the niece of John Hunter. #johnhunter #anatomy #anatomical #anatomicalart #anatomyhistory #graverobbing #resurrectionmen #macabre #macabreart #macabreartist #steampunk #steampunkart #steampunktarot #tarot #tarotcards #tarotart #tarotartist #strangehistory #weirdhistory #history #gothicartwork #halloweenart #halloweenartwork #anatomyart #macabreartwork #burkeandhare #medicalhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CGfQrXZgCb-/?igshid=iyrs075dh5sw

I also just finished reading the beautiful & massive graphic novel “Man of Peace: The Illustrated Life Story of the Dalai Lama of Tibet” by William Meyers and many talented Artners. It’s amazing how after decades of heartbreaking cruelty against the Tibetan people by the Chinese government “The DL” (as I lovingly refer to his holiness) somehow remains persistently compassionate and hopeful!✨Specifically his 4 Points of Hope are: dialogue over war, individual initiative over institutional systems, sustainability over planetary destruction, and spiritual not only material science.✨What an epic and inspiring graphic novel! Thank you #johnhunter for gifting this book to me. 🙏☮️ . . . #currentlyreading #amreading #dalailama #hisholinessthedalailama #peace #amanofpeace #tibet #freetibet #studentsforafreetibet #graphicnovel #bookstagram #comics #compassion #practicecompassion #hope #worldpeace #fourpointsofhope
