EDITORS COMMENTS

Born in the year 1708, Collier's satirical prints on topical issues and poignant depictions of daily life continue to captivate audiences even today. Collier's unique artistic style and keen insight into the human condition are evident in this print, which showcases the humorous and often uncomfortable realities of a dental visit in the 18th century. The patient, with a look of trepidation on his face, clutches a handkerchief as the dentist, with a determined expression, wields his tools. The other patients in the room, some in various stages of dental treatment, add to the chaotic scene. Collier's ability to satirize the sale of commissions and other topical issues of his time is also evident in his work. His prints often provided commentary on the social and political climate of the day, making him a beloved and influential figure in the art world. Despite the passage of time, Collier's prints continue to resonate with viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the universality of human experiences. This particular print, with its vivid details and engaging narrative, is a testament to Collier's artistic talent and his enduring legacy as a master of satire and daily life scenes. John Collier, or Tim Bobbin, was an artist of remarkable talent and wit, whose works continue to captivate and inspire. Born in 1708, Collier's prints on topical issues and scenes of daily life offer a fascinating window into the past and a reminder of the enduring nature of human experiences.
