EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "A Visit to the Dentist" artist George Adolphus Storey takes us back in time to a scene filled with nervous anticipation and fashionable attire. The year is 1878, and we find ourselves in a private collection of emotions as women anxiously await their turn at the dentist's office. The image beautifully captures the range of emotions displayed by these women, from apprehension to curiosity. Their elegant clothing reflects the fashion trends of the era, showcasing intricate details and delicate fabrics that contrast with their uneasy expressions. Storey's attention to detail allows us to witness not only the physical discomfort but also the psychological unease experienced during dental visits. Each woman seems lost in her own thoughts, contemplating what lies ahead while trying to maintain composure. This engraving was originally created for The Illustrated London News, providing readers with an insightful glimpse into everyday life during Victorian times. It serves as a reminder that fear and anxiety surrounding dental appointments have been present throughout history. As we observe this historical print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it prompts us to reflect on our own experiences at the dentist's office. Despite advancements in technology and modern comforts, some things remain unchanged – like our innate human response when facing those dreaded dental chairs.
