EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this delightful snapshot from the roaring twenties! Behold the scene of a plump and rather apprehensive woman, dressed in her Sunday best, as she braces herself for an unpleasant encounter at the dentist's office. The year is circa 1918, and the dental technology of the era seems as advanced as a child's toy compared to what we have today. The dentist, a stern and focused man, dons a mask and prepares to administer the anesthetic - a rather ominous-looking gas mask, no less! His expression is a mixture of concentration and amusement, as if he's seen it all before. The other men in the room, their faces a mask of boredom, seem to be enjoying the spectacle, much to the chagrin of the woman in the chair. This comical postcard, reminiscent of the works of famous satirical artist Donald McGill, is a testament to the lighter side of life in the 1910s. It's a reminder that even in the most mundane and sometimes unpleasant situations, there is always room for a bit of humor and levity. So, the next time you find yourself in the dentist's chair, take a moment to appreciate the progress we've made and perhaps even find the funny side of it all!
