EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a chilling scene from 1849, showcasing the ease with which deadly substances like laudanum and arsenic could be purchased over the counter in a chemist's shop. The image provides a stark reminder of the lack of regulation and oversight in the trade of such dangerous poisons during this period of history.
The composition of the photograph is striking, with customers casually browsing through shelves filled with bottles labeled as lethal substances. The nonchalant attitude towards these toxic products is both shocking and thought-provoking, serving as a poignant commentary on societal norms and attitudes towards health and safety in the past.
The historical significance of this image cannot be understated, shedding light on a dark chapter in pharmacy practices where potent poisons were readily available to anyone who walked into a chemist's shop. It serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come in terms of consumer protection and regulations surrounding potentially harmful substances.
Overall, this print from Mary Evans Picture Library offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into a bygone era where buying poison was as simple as purchasing any other household item - a sobering reflection on the dangers that lurked behind seemingly innocuous transactions.
