"L'Apoticaire charitable".

Etching, 7,0 x 12,0 cm (visible), laid paper, French title and text, numb. 10 (browned).

Under passe-partout and frame (not studied outside frame).

Curious print of a "charitable apothecary" performing a clyster on a woman. The patient is lying down and vomiting, while a couple is watching with a candle. The French text makes clear the procedure is intended to cure her migraine: "Pour soulager votre migraine Jai le remede assuré, Il faut done avoir soin Claudeine de vous faire Clisterisé."
