EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures a scene from the XIXth century, depicting a teeth extractor in action. The two individuals in the print are engaged in a dental procedure that was common during this time period. The dentist is shown extracting a tooth from his patient, who appears to be experiencing great discomfort and pain.
The vivid colors of the print bring to life the suffering endured by those seeking dental treatment in the 19th century. The look of anguish on the patient's face serves as a stark reminder of the primitive methods used for dental care during this era.
The setting of this image is Epinal, France, circa 1880, showcasing a moment in history when dentistry was still evolving and far from modern standards. The tools and techniques employed by dentists at that time were rudimentary compared to today's advanced practices.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the challenges faced by individuals seeking relief from dental issues. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come in terms of medical advancements and technology within the field of dentistry.
