The drawing Dubourg Drew from His Basket his Mechanical Syringe is an illustration that accompanies Charles Paul de Kock’s novel Sister Anne, a droll yet sad tale of unbridled love between two naive youths and its subsequent betrayal. Dubourg, the roguish but loyal friend of the chief protagonist Frederic, provides the comic relief in the story and, strangely enough, moral guidance to the other characters. While traveling with Frederic and his tutor in the south of France, he unintentionally becomes separated from his companions and is forced to trek back to Paris on foot. Along the way, he happens upon an unattended donkey that is laden with packages. Calling out for the owner of the animal and receiving no reply, he searches the baskets and discovers a treasure trove of medicinal supplies. With little money in his pocket and a long journey ahead of him, Dubourg, fond of acting, decides to play the role of a quack doctor, and sells the syringes, ointments and pills to the unsuspecting residents of villages en route to Paris.
Glackens’ illustration depicts the ensuing scene. Disguising his identity with the freshly curled wig and rouge that he had also found in the containers, Dubourg arrives in the first village, looming humorously large on the donkey and loudly heralding promises of instantaneous cures. Eager for a dramatic spectacle, he wields the mechanical syringe as if it was a wand and squirts the surrounding crowd with a liquid so odorous that many are forced to pinch their noses. Rendering the scene with swift and intuitive strokes, Glackens skillfully drew out the comical energy of the episode. At the same time, he imaginatively expanded upon the text’s scant verbal clues to give life to a crowd of distinctive characters. Applying his mastery of anatomical accuracy to his penchant for gritty, realistic subject matter, Glackens created an intriguing scene that wonderfully captures the humor and eccentricity of de Kock’s novel.

Born in Paris to parents who were American artists, Reginald Marsh became an adept illustrator at an early age. His family returned to the United States in 1900. Upon graduating from Yale University, Marsh moved to New York and in 1922 took a job as an illustrator at the New York Daily News. For the paper he provided cartoons of vaudeville and burlesque shows. In 1925 Marsh went to work for a new magazine -- The New Yorker -- as one of its original cartoonists. That same year he married Betty Burroughs, daughter of the paintings curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Later that year they traveled to Europe where Marsh discovered the work of the old masters at the Louvre in Paris and British museums. With a sketchbook always on hand, he wandered the streets of Europe and began depicting bums or what he called figures of failure. Upon the couple’s return, Marsh, now with a serious interest in pursuing art, enrolled at the Art Students League where he studied under George Luks, John Sloan, and Kenneth Hayes Miller. This work, Monseigneur News Theatre, is accompanied by a letter from Marsh Scholar Professor Norman Sasowsky, University of Delaware...
