EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of a street dentist at Ballyclare May Fair in 1883. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where dentistry was often practiced on the move by travelling practitioners. This particular scene showcases a Victorian or Edwardian dentist set up on a bustling street, ready to attend to patients in need of dental care.
The vintage charm of this photograph is undeniable, transporting viewers to a time when horse-drawn carriages and cobblestone streets were the norm. The dentist's equipment and attire provide insight into the practices of the day, offering a glimpse into the early days of dentistry in Ireland.
Ballyclare May Fair serves as the backdrop for this intriguing snapshot, adding an element of festivity and community to the scene. The fairgrounds buzz with activity as locals go about their business, creating a lively atmosphere that contrasts with the serious nature of dental work.
Overall, this print is not just a historical document but also a window into everyday life in 19th-century Ireland. It evokes curiosity about how dental care was administered during that time and highlights the resourcefulness and adaptability of healthcare providers who took their services directly to the people.
