EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing artifact from the 18th century known as the Acroamatic Belt. This engraved ticket for three applications is a fascinating glimpse into the world of advertising, trade, and medicine during that time period. The image depicts a beautifully designed trade card featuring various symbols and illustrations related to scientific discoveries and health. It highlights the bustling commercial activities of London's Red Lion Square, where merchants would promote their goods using such eye-catching trade cards. The Acroamatic Belt was marketed as a revolutionary medical device, claiming to harness magnetism and its healing properties. The ticket promises three different applications that supposedly offered remedies for various ailments. However, it also reveals the gullibility of people in that era who were easily swayed by quacks and their dubious claims. This unique piece serves as a reminder of both the oddities and advancements in medicine during the 18th century. It reflects how businesses used promotional tactics to attract customers while capitalizing on society's fascination with new inventions. Overall, this print provides us with a glimpse into history - showcasing not only an unusual object but also shedding light on societal beliefs, occupations, and trading practices of that era.
