EDITORS COMMENTS
Bound To Draw: A Humorous Take on Self-Dentistry in the Late 1920s (Courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans) This intriguing photograph, titled "Bound To Draw," captures the essence of an ingenious yet quirky experiment in self-dentistry undertaken by the renowned British satirical cartoonist, W. Heath Robinson. Dated 1927, the image showcases a man, presumably the artist himself, in a determined yet slightly anxious pose as he prepares to alleviate his toothache using an elaborate contraption. The contraption, a testament to Heath Robinson's creativity and wit, consists of a complex pulley system, complete with a tooth-shaped lever and a series of cogs and gears. The man's facial expression suggests that he is both hopeful and apprehensive about the outcome of his DIY dental intervention. Heath Robinson, known for his whimsical and imaginative illustrations, was no stranger to creating humorous and thought-provoking images. This photograph, with its blend of humor and historical significance, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the lengths people went to in order to address their toothaches before the advent of modern dental technology. The photograph, "Bound To Draw," is a delightful reminder of the importance of creativity, resourcefulness, and the human spirit, even in the face of discomfort and adversity. This image, courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of dentistry, humor, or the extraordinary world of W. Heath Robinson.
