ALT A vibrant and typically chaotic Georgian print. Edward Jenner is pricking a apprehensive woman’s arm with the cowpox virus to immunise her to smallpox. Behind her men and women suffer grotesque transformations: one is growing horns while the rest have miniature bulls erupt from their bodies, from their noses, their ears and even their buttocks. Reference: Edward Jenner vaccinating patients in the Smallpox and Inoculation Hospital at St. Pancras: the patients develop features of cows. Coloured etching by J. Gillray, 1802. 11752i

ALT A young woman holds a person who has seemingly been transformed by the cowpox vaccine into a tiny cow apart from their smiling human head. A seated woman looks understandably shocked. Just to add to the weirdness, their choice of home decor is unusual, featuring a framed picture of someone being hanged at the gallows. Vaccinae vindicia; or, defence of vaccination: containing a refutation of the cases, and reasonings on the same, in Dr. Rowley's and Dr. Moseley's late extraordinary pamphlets against vaccination; Robert John Thornton, 1806.
