His meticulously groomed moustache adds to his distinguished look, while his unique hairstyle reflects both style and individuality. The woodcut also offers a glimpse into Dr. Tilbough's trade as a charlatan healer by including subtle hints such as scissors symbolizing dubious practices or unconventional methods employed by him. This historical artifact not only sheds light on the fashion trends prevalent at that time but also serves as a reminder of society's fascination with quackery and its impact on medicine during this period. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are left to ponder how individuals like Dr. James Tilbough managed to captivate audiences with their questionable remedies and charismatic personas in an era where scientific advancements were still nascent.
