A rustic blacksmith turned tooth-drawer extracting a tooth from an anxious female patient, her husband observes the situation smugly. Mezzotint by J. Wilson after J. Harris the elder.
Lettering: The ludicrous operator, or blacksmith turn'd tooth drawer. Why squeeze your hat, and seize my cap as if you dreaded some mishap? Keep not your spirits on the rack, I'm a licentiate not a quack. Designed by J. Harris & improved by drawings after the life by J. Wilson. J. Wilson fecit.
