EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating hand-coloured engraving by Thomas Rowlandson that takes us back to the year 1813. This intriguing image captures a scene filled with both humor and concern. In the foreground, we see a man seated in an infirm state, surrounded by medicine bottles and clearly unwell. His physician stands beside him, offering reassurance while examining his condition. The cartoon-like style of this artwork adds a touch of whimsy to the otherwise somber subject matter. The wide-eyed expressions on both the doctor's face and the concerned old woman peering through the doorway create an atmosphere of anticipation and curiosity. Rowlandson's attention to detail is evident throughout this piece. From the intricate engravings on the window cill to the paunch of our sickly protagonist, every element contributes to telling a story within this single frame. This print not only serves as a visual representation of sickness but also provides insight into medical practices during that era. It invites viewers to contemplate how healthcare was approached in earlier times and offers glimpses into societal attitudes towards illness. As we delve into "A Going, A Going!!" we are transported back in time through Rowlandson's skillful depiction of characters and setting. This engraving from The Stapleton Collection reminds us that art has always been instrumental in capturing moments from history while inviting contemplation about our own understanding of health and well-being today.
