EDITORS COMMENTS
Celebrate the New Year with a touch of humor and a dash of nostalgia with this charming Danish New Year's card from 1905. The image depicts a dapper gentleman at the helm of an early aeroplane, approaching a hapless victim below with a pair of tooth-removal pliers. The victim, with a swollen cheek and a look of apprehension and agony on his face, clutches a box labeled "Teeth" and a bandage, while a kite-like wing and a walking cane add to the whimsical scene. This humorous card plays on the fear of dental procedures and the excitement of early aviation, two significant aspects of life in the early 20th century. The toothache and tooth extraction were common ailments before the widespread use of modern dental techniques and anesthesia, while the advent of flight and aviation represented a new and thrilling frontier. The card's historical context is further emphasized by the gentleman's period attire and the rudimentary design of the aeroplane. The image is reminiscent of early aviation pioneers who used to perform stunts and tricks to entertain crowds, often with the help of props such as tooth-pulling tools. This delightful and unique New Year's card is a testament to the power of humor and the human ability to find joy in the most unexpected places. It is a wonderful addition to any collection of vintage ephemera, historical memorabilia, or New Year's cards.
