EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1792, where we find ourselves in the bustling city of Boston, Massachusetts. The image showcases an advertisement for the renowned Smith & Bartlett apothecary shop, a prominent establishment during that era. The ad aims to promote their wide range of medicines specifically used in treating smallpox, a highly contagious and deadly disease prevalent at the time. The composition of this vintage piece is truly remarkable. A beautifully designed border frames the text, drawing our attention to its central message. The choice of typeface reflects the elegance and sophistication associated with this esteemed apothecary shop. As we delve into history through this photograph, it becomes evident that medicine played a crucial role in society's well-being even centuries ago. This artifact from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection provides us with a glimpse into how medical treatments were advertised during that period. It is important to note that while this print captures an intriguing moment in American history, it should not be used for commercial purposes. Instead, let us appreciate it as a testament to human progress and our continuous efforts towards combating diseases like smallpox throughout time.
