Framed Print of Apothecary in Romeo and Juliet, 1805
Apothecary in Romeo and Juliet. 19th-century artwork depicting the apothecary scene (Act 5, Scene 1) from Shakespeares play Romeo and Juliet. Titled Enter Apothecary, it shows Romeo (right), believing Juliet is dead, visiting an alchemist to buy poison to kill himself. Romeos words are: Come hither Man; I see, that thou art poor; Hold, theres forty ducats. At top, hanging from the ceiling, is a stuffed crocodile, a common alchemical symbol. This engraving is by English painter and poet William Blake (1757-1827) for an edition of Shakespeares works illustrated by British painter Henry Fuseli (1741-1825).
