Antique Doctor Doctors Gustave Dore Medical Print c1890 FREE Shipping

Wonderful image to illustrate "The Doctors" - Fear-the-worst and Hope-the-best. - from Fables de La Fontaine.

The selfsame patient put to test
Two doctors, Fear-the-worst and Hope-the-best.
The latter hoped; the former did maintain
The man would take all medicine in vain.
By different cures the patient was beset,
But erelong cancell'd nature's debt,
While nursed
As was prescribed by Fear-the-worst.
But over the disease both triumph'd still.
Said one, 'I well foresaw his death.'
'Yes,' said the other, 'but my pill
Would certainly have saved his breath.'

Mounted on a stunning jet black mount with a slight sheen.
