A Consultation of Physicians by William Hogarth Poster by AntiqueImages
This circa 1750 caricature by William Hogarth lampoons the medical profession and has the full name "A Consulation of Physicians: The Undertaker's Arms." Hogarth described this engraving, which he designed using the laws of heraldry, as follows (using heraldic terminology): "The company of undertakers beareth, sable, an urinal, proper between twelve quack heads of the second, and twelve cane heads, or, consultant. On a chief, Nebulæ, ermine, one complete doctor, issuant, checkie, sustaining in his right hand a baton of the second. On the dexter and sinister sides, two demi-doctors, issuant of the second, and two cane heads, issuant of the third; the first having one eye, couchant, towards the dexter side of the escutcheon; the second faced, per pale, proper, and gules guardant. With this motto, Et plurima mortis imago. The general image of death."
