Sailing the Seas of Indiscretion: Ensign Johnny Newcome's Nautical Nausea. In this collection of vintage engravings, we witness Johnny's initiation into the world of cigars and grog with his shipmates. Inevitably, his celebration turns sour as he overindulges, resulting in a dramatic and ungentlemanly display of seasickness at the table. (Thomas Rowlandson, Colonel David Roberts) Elsewhere, a peasant feast unfolds in the 12-month calendar, where a hearty reveler succumbs to the effects of excessive consumption, purging his meal into a bucket. (November-December, Frederik de Wit) In a more mystical realm, a magician's potion concoction goes awry, causing him to vomit a torrent of mythical creatures. (Balthazar van den Bos) Even dogs partake in the act of regurgitation, as seen in this woodland scene where a canine chews on grass, only to bring it back up with a slime trail. (Vicarage Plantation, Mendlesham, Suffolk) Lastly, this satirical engraving from 1630 warns against the dangers of tobacco, as a man is shown vomiting it up in a fit of disgust. (Tobacco Satire) From the high seas to the lowly dog, and from the magical to the mundane, the act of vomiting is a universal experience, reminding us of the consequences of indulgence and excess.
