EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical engraving captures the humorous and somewhat macabre scene of a dentist laughing as he uses pincers to extract a bad tooth from the mouth of an old woman. The exaggerated expressions on their faces convey a sense of joy and merriment, despite the potentially painful procedure taking place.
Created by Timothy Bobbin (John Collier) in 1773, this illustration is part of the "Human Passions Delineated" series, showcasing various emotions and situations with a comedic twist. The detailed copperplate engraving brings to life the comical interaction between the dentist and his patient, highlighting the absurdity of dental practices in the 18th century.
The contrast between the elderly woman's discomfort and the dentist's amusement adds depth to this lighthearted portrayal of everyday life in historical Britain. Through humor and satire, Bobbin captures not only the physical act of tooth extraction but also explores themes of happiness, joy, and human emotions.
As we look back on this piece from centuries past, we are reminded that laughter has always been a universal language that transcends time. Despite its age, this print continues to entertain viewers with its witty commentary on societal norms and medical practices of yesteryear.
