EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of a Pharmaceutical jar from 1751. The jar, labeled 'Theriaca Magna Pro Pauperibus', was used to store medicine for the poor at the Faculte de Pharmacie in Paris, France. This ceramic jar is not just a storage container, but a symbol of charity and compassion towards those in need.
The intricate design and craftsmanship of this pharmaceutical jar reflect the importance placed on providing healthcare to all members of society, regardless of their financial status. In an era where access to medicine was limited, jars like these played a crucial role in ensuring that even the most vulnerable members of society had access to life-saving treatments.
As we look at this image, we are reminded of the long history of pharmacy and medical care, as well as the ongoing commitment to serving those who are less fortunate. The words 'Theriaca Magna Pro Pauperibus' serve as a powerful reminder that healthcare should be accessible to all, regardless of social or economic barriers.
This print is not just a beautiful work of art; it is also a testament to the enduring values of compassion and generosity that have guided medical professionals throughout history.
