EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and amusing coloured engraving, titled "Physic" captures the essence of mid-19th century humour and caricatures. Created by Charles Henry Bennett in 1860, this print showcases a satirical take on the medical profession during that era. The image portrays various personalities and types of doctors, each depicted with exaggerated features and comical expressions. The use of light and shadows adds depth to the artwork, enhancing its artistic value. It is evident that the artist aimed to entertain viewers through this cleverly crafted cartoon. In a time when healthcare was still evolving, this satirical drawing offers a scathing satire on medical science and services available at the time. Through playful exaggeration, it pokes fun at both doctors' occupation as well as their patients' experiences with physic (medicine). With its humorous undertones and witty portrayal of Victorian society's perception of health professionals, this print provides an insightful glimpse into historical attitudes towards medicine. Its comical nature makes it an entertaining piece that can be appreciated even today. "Physic" serves as a reminder of how art can capture not only physical health but also societal perceptions surrounding healthcare practices. This satirical cartoon continues to captivate audiences with its unique blend of wit, caricatured figures, and colourful imagery – truly a testament to Bennett's skill as an artist.
