EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Laughter and Experiment, from The Passions Humourously Delineated" takes us back to the early 19th century. Created by John Collier, also known as Tim Bobbin, this coloured engraving captures a moment of both amusement and curiosity. The image is based on Collier's painting called "The Dentist" which adds an intriguing layer to its narrative. In this scene, we witness a satirical portrayal of poor man's dentistry during the Georgian era. A male figure can be seen extracting a tooth with force using a string tied around it. This exaggerated caricature serves as social satire, highlighting the absurdity and discomfort associated with dental procedures at that time. Despite the comical nature of the scene, there is an undeniable sense of experimentation present in this artwork. It showcases how human passion for discovery often leads to unconventional methods being employed in various fields. Displayed at Chethams Library in Manchester, UK, this historic piece offers valuable insights into past practices while provoking laughter and contemplation simultaneously. The finely detailed engraving brings out every element of humor and irony embedded within Collier's work. As we gaze upon this print today, it reminds us not only of our progress in dental care but also encourages us to appreciate the advancements made over centuries through trial and error.
