Samuel Impey was a noteworthy medical pioneer of the Cape Colony. He was the author of what was probably the first medical textbook of note to be written in South Africa, a Handbook of Leprosy, published in London in 1896. He carried much of the frontier spirit into the medical life of the time, entering vigorously into controversy and fresh developments. As an amateur artist, he also put forward some individual views on rock paintings.
