Specialist Notes

Original edition of one of the most characteristic English caricature works of the 1800s, accompanied by the beautiful & nbsp; engravings made in the manner of Hogart. The work written by William Combe was written and published in 1812. The clumsy doctor became very popular, and was an inspiration for many imitators and parodies, and the work we presented is one of them. The author of the text is unknown. & Nbsp; Abbey Travel 109; Tooley. 432.
