- Abstract:
- "Bedroom scene: an invalid in a dressing-gown sits smiling in an arm-chair, while a fat yawning doctor, 'Quiet', puts a night-cap on his head. On the right 'Merryman', dressed as a zany or clown, with a gridiron painted on the back of his striped tunic, kicks Death towards the door (right), and presses his cap like an extinguisher against its grinning skull; he says: "Be Off! Be Off! you have no chance where Diet Merryman and Quiet practice!" Death answers: "Then my first job must be to quiet you and your partners will soon follow." Quiet: "Come now for a little quiet; Merrymans dose has opperated suficiently!" The patient holds a 'merrythought'. A fat cook, 'Diet', stands on the left inspecting a dish of bare chicken bones; he says, grinning broadly: "He'll do! Pick'd the bones clean! We shall beat the Charlotte Street Medical Board hollow!" A dinner-table, with an empty plate, a decanter of 'Madiera' and a loaf, is on the left, and behind it a large canopied bed. The chimneypiece (right), is covered with medicine-bottles. The floor is boarded. On it lie two piles of 'Carricatures', evidently the 'Caricature Magazine', on which the imprint is inscribed. There are also books lettered 'Jests'. A puff for Tegg's Magazine, cf. British Museum Satires No. 11976."--British Museum online catalogue
