Druid and Highlander, 1815 - A Humorous Glimpse into Medical Care in the Scottish Highlands
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This etching by William Davison takes us back to the year 1815, offering a delightful glimpse into medical care during that era. The scene depicts a bespectacled doctor attending to a kilted Scotsman's injured leg, creating an amusing contrast between traditional Highland attire and the serious business of healthcare. Davison himself was not only an artist but also worked as both a printer and pharmacist in Alnwick, Northumberland. His multidisciplinary background adds depth to this artwork as it reflects his firsthand knowledge of medicine and his artistic talent. The caricature-like style employed by Davison infuses humor into the image while still conveying the pain experienced by the patient. With exaggerated features and comical expressions, he captures both the seriousness of medical examination and its lighter side. This print provides insight into historical medical practices while simultaneously celebrating Scottish culture. It showcases how doctors approached their patients with care despite any cultural differences or peculiarities they might encounter along their journey. Preserved within a private collection today, this etching serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving understanding of medicine throughout history. Its charm lies not only in its artistic execution but also in its ability to transport viewers back in time – inviting them to explore an intriguing moment where tradition meets modernity on Scotland's rugged terrain.
