EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print from Mary Evans Prints Online depicts a man suffering from the excruciating pain of gout, with the devil looming over him to give him a foretaste of the torments that await him in Hell. The caption humorously suggests that there is no need for the sufferer to wait until he reaches Hell to experience such agony, as the devil is already providing a preview.
Dating back to around 1800, this illustration by Bunbury captures the medical ailment of gout in a satirical and exaggerated manner. The man's contorted expression and swollen foot highlight the intense discomfort associated with this condition.
Gout was once considered a disease of excess, often afflicting wealthy individuals who indulged in rich foods and alcohol. It was believed to be punishment for sinful behavior, hence the association with Hell and torment.
This print serves as a reminder of the historical perceptions surrounding illnesses like gout and how they were interpreted through religious or moralistic lenses. Despite its comedic undertones, it sheds light on the physical and emotional suffering endured by those afflicted with such ailments in centuries past.
