EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Le docteur dans un cellar ou un cave - in 'Doctor Syntaxs three tours'" we are transported to a scene filled with intrigue and curiosity. The image, taken from William Combe's book illustrated by Rowlandson in 1869, depicts an atmospheric underground cellar or cave. The dimly lit space is adorned with barrels of tobacco and various alcoholic beverages, evoking a sense of indulgence and perhaps even escapism. The doctor himself stands at the center of the composition, his presence commanding attention. His disheveled appearance suggests a man who has spent countless hours immersed in his work or seeking solace within these walls. As we examine the details further, we notice the subtle hints at alcoholism and its consequences. The mention of beer and pipe alludes to vices that may have consumed the doctor's life. Yet there is also an air of mystery surrounding him – what led him to seek refuge in this hidden sanctuary? Is he searching for consolation or something more? This thought-provoking image invites us to reflect on themes such as addiction, self-discovery, and the pursuit of happiness. It serves as a reminder that even those who appear strong on the surface may be battling their own demons beneath it all. Leonard de Selva's skillful capture allows us to delve into this world created by Combe and Rowlandson over two centuries ago. Through their collaboration, they have left behind not just a visual masterpiece but also
