Mrs Gamp Drawing

12x9 inch drawing/illustration of the Dickens character ‘Mrs. Gamp’ from his novel Martin Chuzzlewit… one of the worst nurses/midwives in literature! Here she is furtively enjoying her gin. ;) A bit more about her from Wikepedia: “Sarah or Sairey Gamp, Mrs. Gamp as she is more commonly known, is a nurse in the novel Martin Chuzzlewit by Charles Dickens, first published as a serial in 1843–1844. Mrs. Gamp is dissolute, sloppy and generally drunk. In her long, rambling speeches, she refers constantly to her friend Mrs. Harris as support for her questionable practices. It becomes clear, however, that no such person exists other than as a figment of her imagination. She became a notorious stereotype of untrained and incompetent nurses of the early Victorian era,[1] before the reforms of campaigners like Florence Nightingale.”
