EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Apothecary" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Rio de Janeiro. Created by Jean Baptiste Debret during his journey to Brazil between 1822 and 1828, this artwork offers a glimpse into the world of a pharmacist in South America. The scene depicts a quaint boutique pharmacy filled with an array of medicinal remedies. The meticulous details bring life to every corner of the shop, from neatly arranged glass bottles on wooden shelves to various herbs hanging from the ceiling. A knowledgeable apothecary stands behind the counter, ready to assist customers seeking relief for their ailments. Debret's print not only showcases the commerce aspect but also highlights the importance of health and well-being in society. In an era when medical knowledge was limited, apothecaries played a crucial role as trusted healers within their communities. As we admire this historical artwork preserved at Biblioteca Nacional in Rio de Janeiro, we are transported back in time—an opportunity to appreciate both artistic mastery and cultural heritage. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people sought remedies for their ailments just as we do today—a testament to our shared human experience across generations and continents.
