EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing vintage print titled "The End of the Feast" we are transported back to a British household in the late 19th century. The scene captures a pivotal moment between a young boy and his physician, beautifully depicted by the hand-painted cartoonist Cynicus (Martin Anderson). As we observe, the boy lies in bed, visibly unwell after indulging in an extravagant feast. With his tongue coated in fur, he presents it to the doctor who attentively feels his pulse. The doctor's concerned expression hints at the severity of the situation. On a nearby table rests a bottle of castor oil, ready to be administered as a laxative. This traditional remedy was commonly used during that era to alleviate digestive discomfort. Through this image, we witness not only an intimate interaction between patient and doctor but also gain insight into medical practices of yesteryears. Martin Anderson's attention to detail transports us back in time and allows us to appreciate both his artistic talent and historical significance. "The End of the Feast" serves as a fascinating window into English society during c1895 while shedding light on healthcare practices prevalent at that time. It reminds us how far medicine has come since then while evoking nostalgia for simpler times gone by.
