EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Skull and poison bottles DP134420" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intriguing world of the Herb Garrett and Old Operating Theatre Museum in St Thomas Church, Southwark. The image showcases an exquisite detail within the museum's Herb Garret, once an apothecary's store that brims with history and folklore. At its center lies a hauntingly beautiful skull, surrounded by an array of medicine and poison bottles. This composition serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between life and death that was intricately woven into the fabric of ancient medical practices. Each bottle tells its own story, whispering secrets from centuries past when herbal remedies were concocted to heal ailments or perhaps even conceal sinister intentions. The atmosphere captured in this photograph is both eerie and enchanting; it transports us back to a time when alchemy thrived alongside science. It invites us to contemplate the fragility of human existence while marveling at our ancestors' ingenuity in navigating the mysteries of health. Derek Kendall's expert lens skillfully captures not only the physical artifacts but also their intangible significance within this unique space. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are reminded that behind every object lies a tale waiting to be discovered – tales that connect us to our shared heritage and remind us how far we have come on our journey towards understanding medicine's complex tapestry.
