EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history - the extraction of a royal tooth. Taken from a sketch by Dr J A Gray, surgeon to the Amir of Afghanistan, this image transports us back to the 19th century during the Victorian era. In this scene, Prince Nuasrullah sought relief from excruciating pain caused by a worm-infested tooth. Seeking assistance from Dr Gray, he engaged in polite conversation before agreeing that extraction was necessary. The prince positioned himself in an ornate chair while three pages attended to his needs - holding his astrakhan hat, a spittoon, and a silver cup filled with water. As anticipation built up outside the window, soldiers of the bodyguard formed an honorable double line down the garden as witnesses to this significant event. With expertise and precision, Dr Gray deftly maneuvered forceps around the afflicted tooth and swiftly removed it with a twist of his wrist. This photograph not only provides insight into dental healthcare practices of that time but also offers glimpses into state occasions and royalty's experiences with medical procedures. Preserved through archival means, this historical artifact serves as a testament to both medical advancements and cultural customs prevalent during that period.
