OPEN WIDE! - A Series of Eighteenth & Nineteenth Century Caricatures on Dentistry
Wychwood Books, Stow on the Wold 2009
Paperback. 4to [30 x 21cm]. Pages 44. 18 Plates: 11 colour & 7 black & white. Condition: New. Illustrations By: John Collier, Thomas Rowlandson, George Cruikshank, William Davison, Edward Dighton, Matthew Darley & Louis Leopold Boilly. The caricatures you will find illustrated within reflect life in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Brutal, painful and usually short; but leavened with a large dose of that peculiarly Georgian style of humour, which was gloriously grotesque and bawdy. Today dentistry prints are notoriously rare and expensive and are eagerly sought after. As far as we are aware, a volume of cartoons dedicated to the profession of dentistry has never been published before.
