Reproduction of an engraved portrait of Paul Chamberlin (1635-1717), a member of the Chamberlin family to whom the invention of the obstetrical forceps is attributed.  The <a href="https://wellcomecollection.org/works/c9d9xjp5/items?canvas=31" rel="nofollow">M series register</a>suggests that the date on the engraving should read 1688 instead of 1658. The item was previously held in the Prints & Drawings department at the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum, but could not be located in Wellcome Collection.
