EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful illustration by the renowned British humourist, William Heath Robinson (1872-1944), captures the quirky and fanciful world of tooth testing in a modern dental works, as depicted in the image "Testing Artificial Teeth" dated 1947. The scene unfolds in a whimsical setting where a group of men in lab coats are gathered around an intricate contraption designed to test the strength and quality of artificial teeth. The contraption resembles a Rube Goldberg machine, complete with wheels, weights, pulleys, chains, and stairs, all working in perfect harmony to simulate the chewing action of a roast chicken. The men, with expressions of intense focus and determination, carefully observe the testing process, ensuring each tooth meets the highest standards. The comic element of the illustration is amplified by the absurdity of the testing apparatus and the men's exaggerated poses, adding a touch of humour to an otherwise mundane process. This illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of dental manufacturing, showcasing the meticulous process involved in testing the strength and durability of artificial teeth. The illustration is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of William Heath Robinson, whose work continues to inspire and amuse audiences to this day. Courtesy of Mrs J. C.
