Abel Faivre, "The Representation of the Doctor and the Patient in Caricature"
Abel Faivre was more than just an artist; he came from a family of doctors, which undoubtedly influenced his work and humor. In the pages of the most famous newspapers of the time, such as “Le Rire” and “Le Journal,” he delighted or unsettled his readers with sharp humorous drawings about doctors, their patients, and medical practices.
His incisive pen and mischievous pencil earned him a reputation as a specialist in the field. Abel Faivre was also a fervent advocate in the fight against tuberculosis, and his success allowed him to use his art to raise awareness about this devastating disease.
