"Vaccination against Small Pox or Mercenary and Merciless spreaders of Death and Devastation driven out of society" is a satirical print by Isaac Cruikshank, a Scottish painter and caricaturist. Created in the late 18th or early 19th century, this work reflects the public skepticism and controversy surrounding the practice of vaccination, particularly the smallpox vaccine introduced by Edward Jenner in 1796. Cruikshank's piece is a visual commentary on the fears and misconceptions that were prevalent at the time regarding the new medical procedure.

The print depicts the figures of Death and the classical representation of diseases being chased away by the proponents of vaccination, symbolizing the triumph of medical innovation over the traditional and often fatalistic approaches to disease. The artwork serves as a historical document, capturing the social and medical attitudes of the period. It also illustrates the role of art in shaping and reflecting public opinion on scientific advancements.

Isaac Cruikshank was known for his sharp wit and critical eye, often using his art to comment on politics, society, and current events. His work on vaccination is particularly significant given the impact of smallpox on society before the widespread acceptance of vaccination and the eventual eradication of the disease in the 20th century.

This print is an example of how art and satire were used to influence public discourse and is a valuable piece for understanding the cultural context of medical history. It is a testament to the power of visual media in the dissemination and critique of new ideas and practices in the realm of public health.
