Who is this person?

[Pamela]

Thanks! I had to refresh my memory as to who Jack was. I read a book about Robert Lincoln a couple of years ago and of course he was Robert's son who had such a wonderful childhood and a great future, until the French doctor operated on him.

I wonder if other parents of dwarves like Lautrec blamed their stature on injuries? At least I read he was actually a dwarf in addition to a brilliant artist.

Sorry for delay - my internet didn't work.

Kudos, Pamela! Toulouse Lautrec's 1891 picture "Docteur Péan en train d'opérer" is mentioned in " The Last Lincolns" as he was the first to operate on Jack's carbuncle. Kudos also to Laurie for identifying HTL!

Here's some info on the picture:

Pamela, you win tickets for the first cabaret, "Le Chat Noir", whose famous ad was a Lautrec artwork, too:
