- Abstract:
- A scene inside an apothecary’s shop, with a surprised looking apothecary standing behind the counter serving a shifty looking male customer wearing a Scottish bonnet cap and tartan trousers. Behind the counter is a labelled drug run (a set of drawers for storing medicinal ingredients) and labelled drug jars (for storing prepared medicines); on and in front of the counter are pestles and mortars. The shop has carboys and drug jars on display in the windows to the right. The apothecary holds a plaster iron in his hand and is in the process mixing a preparation. See: Royal Pharmaceutical Society Museum online, Attitudes to Health Collection, Reference 997.17.7.
