EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century artwork, titled "Der Zahnartz (The Dentist)" takes us back in time to witness a dental procedure that evokes both fascination and discomfort. Within the confines of a stone archway, we are introduced to a dentist and his patient engaged in an agonizing tooth extraction. The young male patient spits out blood while the dentist proudly displays the bloody tooth he has just pulled. One cannot help but notice the presence of a symbolic crocodile hanging from the ceiling, perhaps representing the lurking danger and pain associated with dentistry during this era. This monochrome engraving on wove paper was skillfully created by artist William French, who drew inspiration from an earlier work by Dutch painter Gerard Dou. The image transports us to a time when dental treatments were far from advanced as they are today. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of medical advancements and technology within dentistry. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of dental practices but also in its depiction of human suffering and resilience. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but appreciate the progress made within healthcare over centuries while acknowledging our gratitude for modern dentistry's ability to alleviate pain more effectively than ever before.
