EDITORS COMMENTS

This satirical artwork, dating back to 1828 and published in London, captures the painful condition of a man suffering from a cramp in his right foot. The illustration depicts the toes of his foot contracted in a spasm, causing him great discomfort. In the background, we see a two-volume medical encyclopedia titled "Buchans Family Medicine" referencing William Buchan's renowned work on Domestic Medicine from 1769. The artist behind this piece is Eugen Hollander, a German art historian and physician who compiled it for his book "Die Karikatur und Satire in der Medizin" (Caricature and Satire in Medicine) published in 1921. This particular version of the artwork comes from that publication. The image provides us with an intriguing glimpse into both historical medicine practices and artistic expression during the 19th century. It showcases how conditions like cramps were caricaturized at that time as part of satirical commentary on society. Through this monochrome illustration, we witness the wincing reaction of an upper-class Caucasian male experiencing muscle contraction within his foot. The setting appears to be an elegant European lounge or home environment. Overall, this artwork serves as a testament to the history of medicine and art history alike while shedding light on societal perceptions surrounding health issues centuries ago.
