EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Apothecary, China, 1800" transports viewers to a bygone era in the vibrant country of China. The artist behind this masterpiece is J Dadley, who skillfully captures the essence of Chinese culture and history. Plate 28 from Major George Henry Mason's renowned book "The Costume of China" published in 1800, showcases the intricate details and colors of traditional Chinese attire. In this image, we see a male apothecary diligently carrying a basket filled with medicinal herbs and remedies. His clothing reflects his profession as an apothecary - a hat adorns his head while he wears traditional Chinese garments that exude elegance and sophistication. The engraving beautifully portrays the man's dedication to his job as he carefully balances a tray filled with various drugs used for healing purposes. This historical photograph offers us a glimpse into ancient Chinese medicine practices, highlighting both the artistry involved in creating herbal remedies and their importance within society. It serves as a reminder of how science has evolved over time but also pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to understanding natural remedies long before modern medicine emerged. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this print holds immense historical value and provides an opportunity for viewers to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also gain insight into professions that were integral parts of past societies like China during the 19th century.
