EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous engraving titled "A Regular Turk" captures the satirical essence of 19th-century British humor. Created by an anonymous English artist, this comic illustration was originally featured in Punch magazine on May 8,1880. The artwork is part of a private collection and is now available as a photo print. In this amusing cartoon, we are introduced to a Turkish man visiting the dentist's office. With exaggerated features and comical expressions, the caricatured figures add an element of wit to the scene. The regular Turk's toothy grin adds to the overall comedic effect. The satirical nature of this drawing highlights society's perception of dentistry during that era. Dentists were often seen as figures who inflicted pain rather than providing relief. This scathing satire pokes fun at both dental practices and cultural stereotypes with its clever portrayal. As part of Look and Learn / George Collection from Bridgeman Images, this print offers viewers a glimpse into Victorian-era humor while showcasing exceptional artistic talent. Whether you appreciate historical cartoons or simply enjoy a good laugh, "A Regular Turk" will surely bring joy to any art enthusiast's collection.
