title: Science and technology in Turner's Georgian dentist's rooms.
abstract: Turner's painting of a dental surgeon's rooms, discussed in the first of these two papers,(1) is a very satisfying work of art, successful in its relaying of a domestic drama, and also fulfilling Payne Knight's commission to produce a work to equal that of the older masters. It cannot, though, be relied upon to show us what a late Georgian dentist's rooms actually looked like. For this we are very fortunate to have Turner's sketchbook, with its preparatory drawings for the painting.
