EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print depicts the infamous Mary Tofts, a woman from Godalming, Surrey, England, who gained notoriety in 1726 for her alleged ability to give birth to rabbits. Known as the "Pretend Rabbit Breeder," Tofts captivated the public and drew large crowds to witness her supposed miraculous deliveries. The scene in this print shows Tofts lying in bed, surrounded by a group of curious onlookers, including doctors and nobility. A midwife stands by her side, assisting in the birth of a rabbit, which is visible in her hands. The room is filled with rabbits, some in cages, others hopping around on the floor. The atmosphere is chaotic and tense, with expressions of awe, disbelief, and excitement etched on the faces of the onlookers. The authenticity of Tofts' claims was hotly debated at the time, with some believing her to be a fraud, while others were convinced of her supernatural abilities. Medical experts were called in to examine her, but no definitive evidence could be found to support her claims. Despite the skepticism, Tofts continued to perform "rabbit births" for several months, drawing large crowds and making a fortune from the sale of rabbits and souvenirs. The incident became a sensation, inspiring plays, poems, and even a painting by the famous artist, William Hogarth. Today, the story of Mary Tofts is remembered as a fascinating chapter in the history of medical oddities and quackery. This print offers a glimpse into the intrigue and excitement that surrounded her supposed rabbit births, and serves as a reminder of the enduring human fascination with the extraordinary and the unexplained.
