EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from 1806, titled "Visiting the Sick" captures a poignant scene of political intrigue and personal drama. In the center sits Charles Fox, visibly unwell, supported by an armchair. On one side stands Mrs. Fitzherbert, elegantly dressed as an abbess with a rosary in her hand, while on the other side a bishop in full regalia and mitre offers his presence. In front of Fox, the Prince of Wales delicately holds a handkerchief to his face, perhaps concealing his emotions or concern for his friend's health. Behind the bishop stands Sheridan, who passionately admonishes him about Catholic emancipation being impossible. The room is filled with distress and tension; Howick, Petty, Windham, and Moira all appear troubled by Fox's condition. Grenville and Sidmouth are seen leaving discreetly with hopes that Fox will not recover. Amidst this chaos unfolds another dramatic moment as Mrs. Fox faints in her chair while Lord Derby attends to her needs. This engraved image showcases Gillray's illustrative technique beautifully capturing historical figures within this historic artwork. The piece exudes nostalgia for old-fashioned traditions and romanticizes past eras through its aged appearance. As we gaze upon this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness both political maneuvering and human vulnerability intertwined within one frame
