'The Cooper's Adz versus the Lancet' Bransby Blake Cooper being poked in the posterior by a lancet, possibly Thomas Wakley, founder of the medical journal The Lancet.

Bransby Blake Cooper FRS, (2 September 1792, Great Yarmouth-18 August 1853, London) was an English Surgeon.[1]

Bransby was the son Dr Samuel Cooper, a Church of England clergyman and grandson of Maria Susanna Bransby, the author of several novels. At an early age he resolved to join the Royal Navy, signing on as a midshipman on HMS Stately in 1805. However, he suffered from sea-sickness to such an extent he had to abandon any nautical career.[2]

He was influenced by his uncle, Astley Cooper to enter medicine.[1]
