EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Gentle Emetic" takes us back to the year 1804, where medical treatments were vastly different from what we know today. Created by James Gillray and published by Hannah Humphrey, this artwork offers a glimpse into the Georgian era's approach to medicine. The image showcases a doctor applying a wrap or plaster to the head of a patient in need of catharsis. The cartoon-like depiction adds an element of humor while highlighting the seriousness of medical practices during that time. The concept of inducing vomiting as a form of treatment was believed to purge harmful substances from the body and restore health. With intricate details and vibrant colors, this engraving captures both the curiosity and skepticism surrounding medical advancements in the early 19th century. It invites viewers to reflect on how far we have come in terms of understanding healthcare. Courtesy of New College, Oxford, this print serves as a historical artifact that sheds light on our ancestors' beliefs about healing and well-being. While it may seem peculiar now, it reminds us that medicine is ever-evolving, shaped by scientific discoveries and cultural shifts over time. As we gaze upon this intriguing artwork, let us appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its ability to transport us back in time - reminding us how fortunate we are for modern medical advancements that prioritize evidence-based treatments over questionable remedies like those depicted here.
