Apotheke / Pharmacy (colour litho)

8666233 Apotheke / Pharmacy (colour litho) by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) (1856-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: Apotheke. Zur Errichtung einer Apotheke ist auch heute noch eine staatliche Konzession erforderlich, die der approbierte Apotheker kauflich erwirbt. Fruher sammelte der Apotheker die Arzneipflanzen selbst ein und stellte die chemischen Praparate fur den Arzneigebrauch her, wahrend er sie heute nur noch zu mischen hat. Ein Wahrzeichen der Apothekerzunft ist der an der Decke hangende Fisch. Translation: Pharmacy. To set up a pharmacy, a state license is still required today, which the licensed pharmacist purchases. In the past, the pharmacist collected the medicinal plants himself and prepared the chemical preparations for medicinal use, while today he only has to mix them. A symbol of the apothecary's guild is the fish hanging from the ceiling. Illustration for Deutsche Kulturbilder, 1400-1900 (Cigaretten-Bilderdienst Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, 1934).); © Look and Learn

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning colour lithograph print titled "Apotheke / Pharmacy" by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of traditional pharmacy practices. The image depicts a pharmacist at work in his apothecary, surrounded by shelves filled with jars and bottles of medicinal ingredients. In the background, we see the iconic fish hanging from the ceiling, symbolizing the long-standing tradition of the apothecary's guild. The caption provides insight into the historical significance of pharmacies and highlights how they have evolved over time. It explains that setting up a pharmacy still requires a state license today, which was purchased by licensed pharmacists in the past. The description also touches on how pharmacists used to collect medicinal plants themselves and prepare chemical preparations for use, contrasting with modern practices where mixing is more common. Overall, this print captures not only the visual beauty of an apothecary but also serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions associated with pharmaceutical practice. It is a wonderful addition to any art collection for those interested in medical history or vintage illustrations.
