About This Design
Unique Rx Pharmacy Apothecary Notebook
From Rattlesnake Oil to Bile Beans, Worm Lozenges, Prickly Ash Bitters and Flesh-Worm Paste, the vast gamut of 19th century cure-all concoctions spawned an absolute treasure trove of at-times surreal advertising in period newspapers. This original and striking pharmacy icon will make the perfect addition to your home or office, a perfect gift for the doctor or pharmacist in your life!
Comprised of a painstakingly researched and digitally remastered collection of hundreds of actual ads ranging from the 1820s to the dawn of the 20th century, this brief history of quackery and exploitation of all manner of human insecurities of the Victorian era, especially, will no doubt be an instant conversation piece. This design incorporates mostly medications rather than devices, although I did throw in a "Health Jolting Chair" that was sold as a cure for dyspepsia and constipation... Yeah. That was a thing.
Incidentally, Rx represents the Latin 'recipere' which means 'take this' or 'to take' - which is where we get the word, recipe.
