A Going! A Going!!!
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 19th-century print by Thomas Rowlandson, reissued in 1813. This hand-colored etching humorously depicts the bustling scene of a quack doctor's office in Britain during this era. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the comical narrative unfolding within. The image showcases an overweight physician attending to his patient, who appears rather skeptical of the dubious remedies being offered. The room is filled with various medicinal bottles and jars, symbolizing the booming business of quackery prevalent at that time. Rowlandson skillfully captures the absurdity of this profession while highlighting society's fascination with health and medicine. This artwork serves as a satirical commentary on both medical practices and human gullibility during the 19th century. It sheds light on how people sought unconventional solutions for their ailments, often falling victim to fraudulent claims made by unscrupulous practitioners. As part of its collection, "A Going! A Going!!!" resides in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcasing its significance as a cultural artifact from this period. Its hand-tinted colors and meticulous detailing make it an exquisite example of Rowlandson's artistic prowess. Through this whimsical print, viewers are transported back in time to witness an amusing yet cautionary tale about health-related occupations and societal beliefs surrounding medicine in early 19th-century Britain.
