EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of pharmaceutical jars used for storing Camphor and Spirit of Wine, dating back to the 18th century. The image captures the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these glass containers. Displayed at the Faculte de Pharmacie in Paris, France, these jars are a testament to the rich history of medicine and pharmacy. The photograph transports us back in time, evoking images of bustling apothecaries and dedicated chemists working tirelessly to find remedies for various ailments. Each jar represents a different medicinal substance carefully labeled with its name - pots à pharmacie - making it easier for pharmacists to identify and dispense them accurately. Camphor was commonly used as an antiseptic and expectorant, while Spirit of Wine (also known as ethanol) had numerous applications in medicine. These substances were crucial components in many medical treatments during that era. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the importance placed on health throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people sought out cures and remedies to alleviate their suffering. This print is not just a beautiful work of art but also an insightful glimpse into our collective past where science met artistry in pursuit of well-being.
