The eighteenth century was an age of satire. Gay, Swift, Pope, Fielding and many other writers depicted society with barbed pens. Artists such as Hogarth, Rowlandson and Gillray followed suit in their graphic prints and paintings and the world of medicine did not escape their scrutiny. This lecture shows how medical images offer a glimpse of the medical and social history of the time.
Speaker: Dr Fiona Haslam
