Description |
English: Satire on medicine: to right, a man sits on a close stool holding a steaming glass vessel; behind him a doctor reads from a large volume propped against the lid of the stool; he wears a tall hat, large glasses and an ermine-trimmed robe which is held by a man with a moustache, hat, lace-trimmed collar and cloak who carries a sword; men in white pierrot costumes stand on either side behind the doctor each holding a large candle the smoke from which partly obscures the doctor's hat; at the end of the procession are three men in the same costumes carrying clysters on their shoulders; all are in profile to right and have large noses. 7 December 1789

Notes | Copied from one of a set of satirical prints on medicine made by Desprez in Sweden (for the original see 1969,0719.2; Wollin 34). This English copy was first published (from an impression in the Library of Congress) by Richard Godfrey in 'Print Quarterly', III 1986, pp.238-40. Richard Godfrey suggested that the engraver might be the Swedish engraver J.F.Martin. The attribution to Frederick George Byron was made by Andrew Edmunds. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
