EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 17th century, immersing us in the bustling shop of a grocer and druggist. From Paul Lacroix's renowned work "Le Moyen Age et La Renaissance" this lithograph captures the essence of daily life during this era. The image showcases an oval-shaped interior, filled with an array of intriguing elements that transport us into a world long gone. The pharmacy counter stands prominently at the center, adorned with various jars and bottles containing medicines and drugs. A skilled pharmacist can be seen meticulously measuring and weighing ingredients, while another is engrossed in grinding and mixing concoctions. Every corner of this shop exudes history and charm. The shelves are lined with countless herbs, spices, potions, and remedies neatly organized for customers seeking relief from ailments or simply indulging their curiosities. The atmosphere is alive with activity as patrons come and go, exchanging knowledge about these mysterious substances. This lithograph not only offers a glimpse into the past but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history. It reminds us of our ancestors' relentless pursuit of understanding nature's secrets to heal both body and soul. As we admire this remarkable piece from French School's 19th-century collection now housed in a private collection under Ken Welsh's care, we are reminded that art has the power to transcend time by preserving moments like these for generations to come.
