Apoplexy, also known as a stroke, is a sudden loss of brain function caused by interrupted blood supply. This debilitating condition has left its mark on history, from the tragic end of Trout-breeder Edwin Forrest in 1872, to the famous fit suffered by King George I in 1727, as depicted in this satirical artwork. The signs of hemorrhagic apoplexy, such as those shown in the lithograph, can be devastating, while the practical medicine book offers insights into treatments. The riots surrounding Forrest's career may have added stress to his life, potentially contributing to his apoplexy. A reminder of the unpredictable nature of this condition, which can strike anyone, regardless of status or circumstance.
