Abstract:
"A slim young man, fashionably dressed, stands chapeau-bras, with clasped hands, facing a gouty invalid; he says: "Stand at ease". The invalid, wearing a night-cap, sits in an armchair, his swathed and gouty legs on a stool, his hands and fore-arms also covered with wrappings. He answers, his face distorted with pain, "Yes - its very fine talking - but if you had such a Confounded Gout, as I have young man You'd find it d----d difficult to sit at ease"."--British Museum online catalogue
