Dentistry caricature. 18th-century artwork of a dentist (centre) pulling a woman's last tooth while a man watches. This engraving is by the English caricaturist John Collier (1708-1786),known by the pseudonym Tim Bobbin. This is the third in a series of four on dentistry,published as plate 7 in June 1773 in 'Human Passions Delineated'. The accompanying text began: An old wife next,with wrapt-up jaw; And her last tooth,did come; This tooth,thought he,I soon can draw; And gain some credit from. So he the pincers took in hand; And pull'd with might and main; But these slipp'd off,we understand; Which much increas'd the pain | |
