Dentistry caricature, 18th century
Dentistry caricature. 18th-century artwork of a dentist (centre) pulling a womans 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
