EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1917, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a lighthearted moment during the harsh realities of World War I. In the image, a dentist, dressed in military uniform, sits intently over a patient, both of whom are also clad in soldiers' attire. The dentist, holding a pair of forceps and a small bag, prepares to extract a tooth from the patient, who winces in anticipation. The caption above the scene reads, "Now then, we'll extract the twelfth one. It's not that it's really bad, but it will give us an even number." During this period, even in the midst of war, routine medical care, including dental procedures, was essential for the wellbeing of soldiers. The use of humor in this cartoon serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find levity in challenging circumstances. The presence of a baionnette, a type of bayonet, on the wall in the background adds a subtle nod to the soldiers' military environment. This print offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during WWI, highlighting the importance of medical care and the camaraderie that existed even in the most unexpected situations. The image, with its blend of humor and historical significance, is an invaluable addition to any collection focusing on WWI, military history, or the human experience during times of conflict.
