Notes
Medium: Aquatints, Hand coloring
Depiction: Interior scene. Consulting rooms of some eminent quack of the day, who, dressed in his morning gown and slippers, with glasses on nose, is receiving his decrepit and melancholy patients. The comforting assurance given by the practitioner to his patients is, it appears, totally without foundation, all his clients, judging from their condition, being in a fair way to supplement the Bills of Mortality.
Signed in plate, lower left: "Rowlandson".
