James Gillray (after) - "Punch Cures Herbal Tea, Cholera and Gout". Vintage satirical cartoon - American pirated edition published by McCleary, 32 Nassau Street, New York, early 19th century. A biting medical satire, emblematic of the genius of James Gillray, master of English caricature. The scene mocks the idea that punch can be used as a miracle cure for the most common ailments of the day: coughs (Tisick), colic and gout. The characters' exaggerated expressions embody the cartoonist's fierce criticism of abusive 18th-century therapeutic practices. After Gillray's death, his works enjoyed wide circulation in the United States, where publishers printed royalty-free editions to meet the strong demand from the American public. McCleary was one of the most active publishers of these cartoons inspired by the original, which are today highly sought-after for their historical importance. The copy offered here is hand-colored at the time and presented under a cream mat in a gilded antique frame, ready for display.
