This print takes us back in time to the 17th-18th century, showcasing the magnificent pharmacy of the Saint-Jean Hospital. Stepping into this historical space feels like entering a realm where medicine and art intertwine harmoniously. The image reveals an array of meticulously crafted jars, neatly arranged on shelves that stretch as far as the eye can see. Each jar holds within it a story of healing and hope, containing precious remedies from a bygone era. The theriac urn stands tall, exuding an air of mystique with its ornate design and ancient symbolism. As we explore further, we are drawn to the exquisite pottery vases adorning every corner. These vessels once held powerful herbal concoctions carefully prepared by skilled apothecaries who dedicated their lives to serving those in need. Their medicinal properties were believed to hold the key to restoring health and well-being. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse of how medical practices have evolved over centuries. It serves as a reminder of our shared human quest for better health and longevity.
