Doctor Gallipot placing his Fortune at the feet of his Mistress. Thro' Physic to the Dogs.

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.
[Ref: 50681]  £260.00
