EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in the history of medicine. The print depicts Horace Wells, an American dentist, conducting a tooth extraction in front of his students in 1844. This groundbreaking event took place at the Boston Hospital and showcased Wells' pioneering use of nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, to anesthetize his patients. The image is part of a collection titled "Les Merveilles de la Science" (The Wonders of Science) by Louis Figuier, published in France in 1868. It provides a glimpse into the early advancements made in anesthesia during the late nineteenth century. In this scene, we see Wells confidently performing the procedure while surrounded by attentive students eager to learn from their esteemed mentor. The engraving beautifully captures the atmosphere of scientific discovery and innovation that characterized this era. Wells' contribution to medical science cannot be overstated. His use of nitrous oxide revolutionized pain management during dental procedures and paved the way for further developments in anesthesia. This print serves as a testament to his ingenuity and dedication to improving patient care. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork with great detail and clarity, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance within the field of medicine.
