EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1895 and 1910, depicts the interior of a drugstore belonging to Alfonso G. Zerbi in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when pharmacies were an integral part of daily life. The drugstore's interior is filled with an intriguing assortment of containers, jars, and bottles, neatly arranged on the shop counter and shelves. A shop assistant, dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, stands behind the counter, ready to assist customers with their medicinal needs. The shopkeeper, Alfonso G. Zerbi, can be seen in the background, intently focused on the operation of the cash register. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches and was captured on a dry plate negative glass, showcases the scientific and medicinal advancements of the era. The pharmacy's offerings range from common household remedies to more complex medicines, reflecting the importance of pharmacies as community hubs for health and wellness. This photograph, now housed in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Puerto Rico and the evolution of pharmacy practices over the centuries. It invites us to reflect on the role of pharmacies in our lives and the ways in which they have adapted to meet the changing needs of their communities.
