EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, specifically to an American magazine of 1892. The image showcases an intriguing advertisement for Dr. Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, a popular patent medicine at the time. The ad features a distinguished-looking doctor, possibly Dr. Scott himself, confidently endorsing this medicinal product. With its bold text and eye-catching design, the advertisement aims to capture the attention of readers in search of remedies for various ailments. During this era, patent medicines were widely advertised as miracle cures for all sorts of health issues. However, many of these products were nothing more than fraudulent concoctions with no scientific basis or effectiveness. While we cannot deny that some women are depicted in this ad, it is important to note that they were often targeted by such advertisements due to their perceived vulnerability and desire for quick fixes. This photograph not only serves as a fascinating glimpse into turn-of-the-century advertising practices but also reminds us of the prevalence of quackery during that time period. It stands as a testament to how far medical advancements have come since then and serves as a cautionary reminder about being critical consumers when it comes to our health and well-being. Captured by The Granger Collection in New York City, this print offers us a window into America's history with patent medicine advertisements from over a century ago.
