Faces of Surgery
The Royal College of Surgeons of England commissioned the People’s Picture to create an artwork that stands the test of time and reflects what made their organisation and home of surgery in Lincoln’s Inn Fields what it is today – composed of their members, volunteers, staff and community worldwide. The mosaic is displayed at the Portugal Street entrance of the College building in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London. This photo mosaic artwork is composed of a staggering 3,552 photographs. It is an iconic image of a simple scalpel. Yet, at close range, it reveals the many ‘Faces of Surgery’ representing our College and the people who have led and continue to drive our vision of excellent surgical care for everyone into the future.
