EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a bustling apothecary's shop from the late 15th century. The image, titled "Apothecary's Shop" is a woodcut from the renowned book "Das Buch der Cirugia" published in Strasbourg in 1497. The scene depicts an interior filled with intriguing details that transport us into the world of medieval medicine. A doctor, likely an apothecary or medical practitioner, stands at the center of the shop, surrounded by shelves lined with jars containing various herbal extracts known as simples. These precious ingredients were used to create potions and remedies for treating ailments of all kinds. The atmosphere exudes knowledge and expertise as this learned individual consults his treasured copy of "The Book of Surgery". This significant German manual was influenced by French and Italian writings but also drew upon Brunschwig's own practice and experience. As we gaze at this fascinating snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how far medicine has come since then. Yet it also serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people sought healing through natural remedies carefully prepared by skilled hands. This print captures not only a moment in history but also our enduring fascination with ancient practices and the tireless pursuit of health and well-being throughout human civilization.
