EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling interior of an Apothecary's shop. Published in Strasbourg in 1497, it is a snapshot from "Das Buch der Cirugia" the first significant German manual of civic medicine. Brunschwig, a renowned figure in his field during the late 15th century, based this work on French and Italian writings as well as his own practice and experience. The image showcases a scene filled with intriguing details. A doctor and an apothecary are engrossed in their work, surrounded by shelves lined with jars containing various potions and tinctures. The air is thick with the scent of herbs being ground into medicines, creating an atmosphere that feels both mystical and scientific. This woodcut engraving transports us to medieval times when medical knowledge was still evolving. It offers us a glimpse into the world of early healthcare practices where doctors relied heavily on herbal remedies for treatments. As we observe this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but marvel at how far medicine has come since then. Yet there is also something nostalgic about seeing these ancient methods preserved through art – reminding us of our shared human history and the constant pursuit of healing throughout the ages.
