EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating coloured engraving by Thomas Rowlandson that depicts a scene of both despair and hope. In this intriguing artwork, we are transported to the home of an obese man suffering from gout, surrounded by a group of doctors. The artist skillfully captures the essence of terminal sickness and the desperation for a cure. The composition draws our attention to the central figure, who sits in agony while being examined by medical professionals. Their concerned expressions reveal their determination to find a solution, offering him his last glimmer of hope. Rowlandson's caricature style adds an element of humor amidst the somber atmosphere, highlighting society's fascination with medicine during this era. This coloured engraving not only showcases Rowlandson's artistic talent but also provides us with insight into historical attitudes towards health and illness. It serves as a reminder that even in times when medical knowledge was limited, individuals sought solace in consultations with experts. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, "The Consultation or Last Hope" continues to captivate viewers today through its intricate details and thought-provoking subject matter. This print invites us to reflect on our own relationship with medicine and reminds us that sometimes even our last hope lies within the hands of those who strive to heal us.
