EDITORS COMMENTS
Cruikshank's Cholic: A Gang of Impish Demons Tormenting a Cholic Woman, dated 1819, is a vivid and humorous depiction of the ancient ailment known as the "cholic." This print by the renowned English satirical artist, George Cruikshank, captures the essence of the 1810s and the superstitious beliefs of the time. The image portrays a woman lying in bed, writhing in pain and agony, with a distressed expression on her face. A group of impish demons, each with mischievous grins, surround her bed, taunting and tormenting her with various medical instruments and potions. One demon holds a syringe, another a leech, and yet another a pestle and mortar. The woman's companion, a concerned-looking figure, looks on helplessly. The print reflects the common belief that the cholic was caused by a build-up of bile in the liver, which could be relieved through various medical treatments, such as bloodletting and purging. However, these treatments were often more painful and distressing than the ailment itself, leading to the popular image of the cholic as a tormenting affliction. Cruikshank's Cholic is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the human condition with humor and satire. His use of exaggerated expressions and grotesque demons adds to the overall effect of the print, making it a fascinating glimpse into the medical beliefs and practices of the past. The print also serves as a reminder of the enduring human desire to find relief from pain and illness, no matter how unconventional the methods may be.
