The only two portraits of Kirkes available. (Left) A pencil drawing in the medical school at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London [artist and date unknown]. The birth date given is interesting, as no parish record has been found (discussed in the text), although all other records give 1823 as his year of birth, the 1851 national census has him aged 29 in July of that year, which would fit with an 1822 birth date. In contrast, the 1864 death certificate Figure 3gives him as only 41 years old, suggesting that 1823 is correct. The date of death given on the drawing (1863) is, however, undoubtedly wrong: Kirkes died on December 8, 1864, as on his death certificate and from other accounts. (Right) An anonymous photograph published in 1911 and supplied by Henry Rundle, FRCS; date unknown.
