EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a fascinating scene from 1736, depicting the "Consultation of Physicians: The Company of Undertakers" by William Hogarth. In this satirical etching, Hogarth humorously portrays a group of English doctors engaged in consultation. The men are dressed in traditional attire, complete with wigs and formal coats, reflecting the fashion of that era. Hogarth's keen eye for detail is evident as he highlights the quackery prevalent among physicians during this period. Through his sharp wit and clever composition, he exposes their questionable practices and mocks their lack of genuine medical knowledge. The undertaker mentioned in the title refers to those who profit from death-related services rather than being part of an actual funeral company. This inclusion adds another layer to Hogarth's satire as it suggests that these physicians may be more interested in financial gain than providing quality healthcare. This facsimile print allows us to appreciate Hogarth's artistic genius and his ability to use visual storytelling to critique societal issues. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, artists like Hogarth were using their talent to shed light on important matters through satire and humor.
