Description:
Title written below image, from a quotation by Horace Walpole's letter to Miss Berry December 1793: "A park-wall with ivy on it and fern near it, and a back parlour in London in summer, with a dead creeper and a couple of sooty sparrows, are my strongest ideas of melancholy solitude. A pleasing melancholy is a very august personage, but not at all good company.”, Signed and dated by the artist in lower left corner of image., Place of production inferred from artist's city of residence during this time period., Page reference for quotation written below title: Page 288., and Bound in as page 214 in volume 12 of M.C.D.

Harper's Weekly (33:1703), page 637, cover. By W. A. Rogers. Although this is a "tenement" there is an orientalist print (=Sephardic?) on the wall above a fireplace mantle; also note the doctor is taking pulse from wrist, without using a watch, while listening directly to the chest (heart or lungs?) without a stethoscope of any kind. No medical accoutrements other than the doctor's bag are seen. On page 651 (not included), the cover picture is mentioned: "The picture which appears on another page is an accurate representation of what was seen on a recent trip made in company with Dr. Davies Coxe, of the Summer Corps of the Board of Health." The "summer corps" is discussed in an editorial in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper (54:1401), July 29, 1882, page 354 without illustrations. Hansen database #1540.
