33. Pettigrew is a remarkable, if marginal, figure in the history of Egyptology. His acquaintances included Dickens, Disraeli, Coleridge, Turner, Landseer and Faraday. The ‘conversaziones’ he held in his Savile Row house were attended by the cream of London society, including peers, judges, members of the House of Commons and eminent scientists. As surgeon to the Duke and Duchess of Kent, Pettigrew vaccinated the future Queen Victoria as a baby. In 1841, with the encouragement of Wilkinson and others, he embarked on an Encyclopaedia Aegyptiaca, to present the recent achievements in Egyptology. It was due to be published in twenty-four monthly instalments, but failed to attract enough subscriptions so never appeared, beyond a short extract in the prospectus. In 1852, Pettigrew presided over the mummification of Alexander, tenth Duke of Hamilton, and his interment in an Egyptian sarcophagus in the family mausoleum at Hamilton House, Scotland.
