EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of an Apothecary's shop takes us back in time to the medieval era, offering a glimpse into the world of ancient medicine. Published in Strasbourg in 1497, this image is derived from "Das Buch der Cirugia" the first significant German manual of civic medicine. Created by Hieronymus Brunschwig, a renowned figure in the field during that period, this woodcut engraving showcases his own practice and experience. As we delve into this intricate composition, our eyes are drawn to rows upon rows of meticulously labeled jars containing simples - single herbal extracts used for medicinal purposes. The apothecary himself stands proudly amidst his collection, ready to consult with patients seeking treatment or advice. The ambiance within this shop exudes wisdom and knowledge as books and scrolls line the shelves behind him. It is evident that both science and artistry intertwine here; potions are carefully concocted using age-old recipes passed down through generations. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we gain insight into the historical significance of early medical practices. This image serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, individuals sought remedies for their ailments with great fervor and dedication. Displayed within private collections today, these prints continue to inspire awe and curiosity among those who appreciate the intersection between art and healing throughout history.
