EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "L arracheur de dents" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a scene of dental extraction. The French School artist skillfully captures the intensity and discomfort associated with visiting a dentist during that era. The print depicts a dentist, known as "l'arracheur de dents" in action. With his patient seated on an ornate wooden chair, their face contorted in pain, the dentist firmly grips a pair of forceps ready to extract an agonizing tooth. The intricate details in this artwork highlight the tension between the patient's fear and the dentist's determination. Originally published as an illustration for Le Magasin Pittoresque in 1836, this digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit. It serves as a reminder of how far dentistry has come since then, highlighting advancements in technology and techniques that have made dental procedures significantly less distressing. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we cannot help but feel grateful for modern dentistry practices that prioritize patient comfort. This artwork invites us to reflect on our own experiences at the dentist while appreciating how much progress has been made over time.
