EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1500 takes us back to the medieval era, where a skilled physician is carefully selecting drugs in an apothecary shop. The scene is set in Strassburg, Germany, and showcases the intricate knowledge and expertise required of doctors during this time period. The image depicts a bearded physician standing before shelves filled with various jars and containers holding medicinal substances. With his wand-like instrument in hand, he meticulously examines each drug, contemplating their properties and potential uses. This snapshot into the world of medicine highlights the importance placed on herbal remedies and potions as primary forms of treatment. Created by Hieronymus Brunschwig for his book "Buch der Chirurgia" this woodcut captures both the artistry of Renaissance printing techniques and the practicality of medical practice at that time. It offers a glimpse into how pharmacists played an essential role in supporting physicians by providing them with necessary ingredients for concocting remedies. As we observe these men engrossed in their work, it becomes evident that medicine was not just a science but also an art form during this period. This historical artifact reminds us of how far we have come in terms of medical advancements while also appreciating the dedication and skill required by those who paved the way for modern healthcare practices.
