EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century print captures the frustration and helplessness of a gouty invalid as he angrily rings for his manservant, presumably to fetch him some more port. The man is clearly suffering from the painful effects of gout, a condition characterized by severe inflammation in the joints, particularly in the feet. His expression conveys both physical discomfort and emotional distress, as he relies on his servant to bring him relief in the form of alcohol. The scene is set in a lavish room with ornate furnishings, indicating that this wealthy individual has access to resources that could potentially alleviate his suffering. However, despite his privileged status, he is still at the mercy of his ailment and dependent on others for assistance. The turban-wearing manservant dutifully responds to the bell ringing, ready to attend to his master's needs. This dynamic between patient and caregiver highlights the power dynamics at play during this time period when medical treatments were limited and often ineffective. Overall, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by individuals dealing with chronic illnesses in centuries past and underscores the importance of compassion and support for those struggling with medical ailments.
