EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print captures a Balance from a marine medicine chest dating back to around 1808. This object not only served as a tool for measuring medication doses but also included the necessary weights for accuracy. Manufactured during the early 19th century, this balance scale is a testament to the precision and attention to detail required in maritime medicine.
The intricate design of this balance scale reflects the importance of maintaining equilibrium in dosage measurements, especially on long sea voyages where access to medical supplies may be limited.
