Taking Physick.
[by James Gillray.]
Publish'd Feb.y 6.th 1800, by H. Humphrey, St James's Street, London.
Coloured etching. Sheet 265 x 195mm (10½ x 7¾"). Trimmed to printed border, long tear taped. Damaged.
An invalid, with unbuttoned breeches and nightcap, standing before a fire drinking medicine from a bowl, pulling a face. One in a series (with 'Gentle Emetic', 'Brisk - Cathartic', 'Breathing a Vein' & 'Charming - Well again), all of which appear in Humphrey's shop window in Gillray's 'Very Slippy-Weather' (1808), alongside some of Gillray's more famous satires. As the display celebrates Gillray's domestic arrangements (it includes two prints in which Hannah Humphrey, Gillray's partner and publisher, is recognisable) it is conceivable that the patient in this satire is Gillray himself. The series certainly had significance for the caricaturist.

Coloured etching. 270 x 215mm (10½ x 8½").
