EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 19th century, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in medical history. The image depicts American dentist Horace Wells conducting a tooth extraction in front of his students at the Boston hospital in 1844. As one of the inventors of surgical anesthesia, Wells revolutionized the field of dentistry and medicine as a whole. With great precision and confidence, Wells proceeds with the procedure after administering nitrous oxide, commonly known as hilarious gas, to his patient. This groundbreaking use of anesthesia allowed for painless surgeries and marked a turning point in medical practices. The artist beautifully captures the intensity and focus on everyone's faces - from Wells himself to his attentive students observing this historic event. The engraving is extracted from Louis Figuier's renowned work "Wonders of Science" published in 1868. This powerful image serves as a reminder of how far medical advancements have come over time. It also pays homage to those brilliant minds like Horace Wells who fearlessly pushed boundaries and forever changed the course of healthcare. Patrice Cartier skillfully preserves this significant moment through their artistic interpretation, reminding us all that progress is built upon innovation and courage.
