Lucas's famous engraving of a typical barber-surgeon at work. "It has been suggested that this engraving is a subtle indictment of the barber-surgeon. He is shown wearing elegant attire, whereas his patient is portrayed as a poor country bumpkin. In the artistic language of the day the large, heavy purse below the surgeon's right arm signalled an undue preoccupation with money" (Rutkow, Surgery: An Illustrated History, p. 121). Lyons & Petrucelli, Medicine: An Illustrated History, p. 383 (illustrating the engraving).
