EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a scene straight out of the 17th century, featuring a mountebank or charlatan with his monkey assistant peddling patent medicines to unsuspecting customers. The term "mountebank" refers to a fraudster or quack who would travel from town to town selling supposed miracle cures and elixirs.
In this image, we see the mountebank dressed in elaborate attire, using charm and deception to lure in potential buyers. His monkey assistant adds an element of whimsy to the scene, perhaps serving as entertainment for onlookers while the charlatan works his sales pitch.
The history of medical charlatans is a long and storied one, with these snake oil salesmen taking advantage of people's desperation for quick fixes and miracle cures. Despite their dubious practices, mountebanks were often able to amass wealth and influence through their deceptive tactics.
This print serves as a reminder of the darker side of medical history, where unscrupulous individuals preyed on the vulnerable for personal gain. It also highlights the enduring fascination with quackery and deception throughout the centuries. Overall, this image provides a glimpse into a bygone era when charlatans roamed freely, exploiting people's trust in search of profit.
