Trustman, Benjamin A., Trustman, Julia M. · 1833

This lithograph depicts the bleeding, purging and medication of a man. he print shows from left to right: King Louis-Philippe, a coachman (the French people?), Ferdinand Duc d'Orléans, and Marshal Lobau with his famous syringe. Louis-Philippe in 1833 bleeds a mail messenger (postillon) who has fallen off his horse, thereby saving his life. The King had learned the art of blood-letting in a hospital in his youth and always carried a bleeding-knife on him. Symbolically it is not the postillon, but rather the French nation which is being bled.
