EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling world of a 16th-century apothecary's shop, as depicted in this print from the Mary Evans Picture Library. Dated circa 1570, this historical image offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a C16 chemist at work. At the heart of the scene, the skilled druggist deftly wields a pestle and mortar, meticulously grinding herbs and other ingredients to create a medicament. The air is thick with the aroma of various potions and elixirs, each one holding the promise of healing and relief for those in need. Two curious customers, dressed in the fashions of the day, wait patiently by the counter, their eyes fixed on the druggist's every move. One customer holds a small leather pouch, perhaps containing a prescription or a list of desired remedies. The other, a man with a loyal dog at his side, watches intently as the druggist works. The presence of the dog adds a touch of warmth and familiarity to the scene, reminding us that even in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the apothecary's shop, there was still a sense of community and companionship. This intriguing print offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to witness the art of medicine-making in the 16th century and to appreciate the dedication and skill of the druggists who crafted medicaments while their customers waited with hope and anticipation.
