Advert Advertisement Pill The Graphic Beechams Pills

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "How shall I meet the Epidemic?, 1890" takes us back to the late 19th century, a time when medicine was still grappling with the challenges of combating diseases. The creator of this thought-provoking image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its historical significance. The photograph features an advertisement for Beechams Pills, a popular medicine in Victorian Britain. In this era before advanced medical technology, people relied heavily on advertisements like these to seek remedies for various ailments. The advert's central question - "How shall I meet the Epidemic?" - reflects the prevalent fear and uncertainty surrounding infectious diseases during that period. The simplicity of the black and white composition draws attention to the seriousness of public health concerns at that time. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of medical advancements since then. Preserved through newspapers from that era, this print offers us a glimpse into society's reliance on science and press coverage for guidance during epidemics. It is not just a piece of history but also an artifact representing humanity's resilience in times of crisis. As we reflect upon this image today, it reminds us to appreciate our progress in healthcare while acknowledging our ongoing battle against new epidemics.
