Doctor Gallipot placing his Fortune at the feet of his Mistress. Thro' Physic to the Dogs.
Rowlandson.
[n.d., c.1810.]
Hand-coloured etching with aquatint. 335 x 265mm (13¼ x 10½"), with wide margins.
An ugly foppish apothecary, with drink-blotched profile, kneels at the feet of a handsome young woman, one hand on his breast, the other pointing to a cloth at his feet on which are spread clyster-pipes, knife, pestle and mortar, and a bottle: 'Elixer of Life Drops'. She stands, making a gesture of surprise. Behind are the curtains of a bed, and a door round which looks an amused man. First published by Reeve & Jones in 1808, this is a reissue, with the aquatint border reduced and the publication line removed.
See BM Satires: 11114 for first issue.
