EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online captures a scene straight out of 1877, featuring a street "doctor" attempting to sell peppermint cough lozenges to a gullible woman. The disabled doctor, sporting a bowler hat and holding onto a club for support, exudes an air of confidence as he tries to peddle his questionable medical wares.
The historical significance of this image is evident in the way it portrays the charlatans and quacks that roamed the streets during this time period, preying on unsuspecting individuals with promises of miracle cures. The woman in the photo appears intrigued by the doctor's pitch, perhaps unaware of the dubious nature of his products.
The details in this print are truly remarkable - from the worn shoes on the doctor's feet to the expression on the woman's face as she contemplates making a purchase. It serves as a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era when medical practices were far less regulated than they are today.
Overall, this print is not just an intriguing snapshot of history but also a reminder of how far we have come in terms of healthcare and consumer protection. It serves as a cautionary tale about trusting those who claim to have all the answers when it comes to our health and well-being.
