EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to 1818, inside the Distillery Pharmacy A d Ailly in Amsterdam. The interior laboratory of pharmacy Stoockhuys is bustling with activity as pharmacist Anthony d Ailly diligently mixes a medicine. Standing nearby, a curious customer and their faithful dog observe the process with keen interest. The scene is filled with intriguing details that transport us to this bygone era. On the right side of the image stands a massive mortar, hinting at the ancient art of compounding medicines. Through an open doorway, we catch a glimpse of another man hard at work in the store, carefully weighing ingredients on scales. Painted by Johannes Jelgerhuis, this canvas captures not only the technical aspects of pharmaceutical practice but also provides insight into daily life within such establishments during that time period. The composition skillfully balances light and shadow, enhancing our appreciation for each element present. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how far medical science has progressed over centuries. It also highlights the importance placed on personalized care and attention even then – evident through both pharmacist and customer's engagement. This remarkable piece invites us to reflect on our own experiences with pharmacies today while appreciating their historical roots.
