The history of dentistry

in 256 prints 1470-1870

In 2014, when Dr Gert J. Schade was chairman of the SVTE- Dutch Friends of Dental Heritage Foundation, the initiative was taken to mark the 100th anniversary of the Dutch Dental Association, by publishing a book about the collection of prints, entitled Tandheelkunde in de Prentkunst. Interest in this collection of dental prints grew substantially, thanks in part to an exhibition in 2016 of all the prints in this book in the Kunsthal in Rotterdam entitled 'Kwakzalvers & Tandentrekkers, Tandheelkunde in de Prentkunst'. At that time there were also calls for a new book by Gert Schade in a different format, with supplements intended also for use as exhibition guidelines, to be published in English. CHAPTER I 'Apollonia: From Martyrdom to Veneration' (147o-1800), features 58 prints in 20 scenes. It tells of her torture from the oldest documentary sources; the characteristics of her martyrdom are pictured and her veneration in devotional prints up to 1800 is illustrated. CHAPTER II 'Market Scenes: From Quacks to Fairs' (1520-1850) is divided into 27 scenes with 57 prints. Quack doctors appear on stage with all kinds of remedies and smooth talk. They trick the gullible into undergoing dental treatments and try to perform them in public. CHAPTER III 'Interior Scenes: Moving Indoors' (1625-1860) has 16 scenes with 41 prints illustrating domestic and drawing-room settings. They cross the threshold from market to salon, from outdoors to indoors, and more purpose-equipped surgeries gradually appear. CHAPTER IV 'Cartoons: From Amusing to Grotesque' (1780 -1870) has 37 scenes with 100 prints. We see famous names like Daumier, Rowlandson and Boilly ramping up the hilarity and ridiculing the tooth-drawer, the patients and the treatments. The chapter ends with a number of surprising discoveries illustrated in Japanese woodblock prints
