George Washington's False Teeth

Robert Darnton, "George Washington's False Teeth"
2003 | ISBN: 0393057607, 0393337472 | 192 pages | PDF | 4 MB

George Washington was inaugurated as president in 1789 with one tooth in his mouth, a lower left bicuspid. The "Father of His Country" had sets of false teeth that were made of everything but wood, from elephant ivory and walrus tusk to the teeth of a fellow human. Darnton aargues that the Enlightenment had false teeth also - that it was not the "Father of the Modern World", responsible for all its advances and transgressions.
