EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical engraving from the 18th century depicts a physician in a comically bad wig, laughing as he attempts to pull a tooth from his patient using nothing but string. With his foot resting on the patient's chin, the scene is both absurd and humorous.
The exaggerated expressions on both figures' faces capture the essence of joy and mirth, despite the potentially painful situation at hand. The caricatured nature of the illustration adds an element of whimsy to what would otherwise be a mundane medical procedure.
Created by Timothy Bobbin (John Collier) in 1773, this piece is a scathing satire on medicine and society at that time. It reflects not only the practices of healthcare during that era but also serves as commentary on human emotions and interactions.
The intricate details in this copperplate engraving highlight the artist's skill in capturing facial expressions and body language. The overall composition exudes a sense of gaiety and cheerfulness, making it an intriguing piece for art enthusiasts to explore.
Despite its age, this print continues to evoke laughter and amusement from viewers today. It serves as a reminder that humor has always been present throughout history, even in unexpected places like medical illustrations.
