A Pleasing Method of Rouzing the Doctor or a Thythe Pig No Bad Sight
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical illustration from the 18th century that humorously depicts the relationship between clergy and their parishioners. In this comical scene, a woman is seen tickling the nose of a sleeping doctor with the tail of a piglet, which she must give as payment for tithes. The image captures the tension between religious obligations and societal expectations, highlighting how some individuals may view these duties as burdensome or even absurd. The artist employs wit and irony to critique both the clergy's perceived laziness and their reliance on unconventional forms of compensation. The detailed black-and-white print showcases various elements symbolizing different aspects of society at that time. From books and maps representing literature and knowledge to bottles signifying medicine, each object adds depth to this clever visual commentary. This artwork not only reflects upon religious practices but also provides insight into social dynamics during this period. It serves as an amusing reminder that even in serious matters such as religion, there is room for lightheartedness and satire. With over two hundred illustrations by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds), "A Pleasing Method of Rouzing the Doctor or a Thythe Pig No Bad Sight" stands as an example of her talent in capturing societal nuances through art. This piece continues to entertain viewers today while offering valuable historical context about life in 18th-century Britain.
