The Gout
Etching, 1835, 131 x 170 mm.. The medical profession has always been a common object of ridicule, and while this caricature is medically related, in this instance, the profession has been spared. Since gout traditionally was considered a disease of those living la dolce vita, it came to distinguish the sufferers as being from the upper-classes. Here the demonized disease voraciously attacks, chomps and claws the foot of the gentry, so to speak; an agonizing comeuppance for indulging one's appetite. A fine impression on wove paper with large margins, as published by Thos. McLean, 26 Haymarket, August 1st, 1835. The print is a later and smaller copy of the Gillray etching of 1799.
