Apotechary Museum
by nonur
WIKIPEDIA:
In addition to pharmacy responsibilities, the apothecary offered general medical advice and a range of services that are now performed solely by other specialist practitioners, such as surgery and midwifery. Apothecaries often operated through a retail shop which, in addition to ingredients for medicines, sold tobacco and patent medicines.
Such an old profession--it deserves a museum.
I wonder what the alligator was used for?
The photo makes me wonder about the long history of the profession. It is well-framed and texturally engaging.
