EDITORS COMMENTS
This and surreal illustration from the Antikamnia Calendar of 1901 takes us on a journey into the peculiar world of medicine and relief. Created by Louis Crucius or Crusuius, this colour lithograph showcases his unique artistic style. In this bizarre scene, we are transported to a pharmacist's laboratory where strange and odd objects fill every corner. A skull sits atop a shelf, seemingly overseeing the activities below. Bottles of all shapes and sizes line the walls, each containing mysterious elixirs that promise healing and pain relief. A skeleton stands at attention, holding a phial in its bony hand while reaching for an old-fashioned telephone with another. This juxtaposition between ancient medical practices and modern communication devices adds an intriguing layer to the composition. The artist skillfully combines elements of surrealism with intricate designing techniques to create an image that is both visually striking and thought-provoking. The viewer is left wondering about the connection between these unusual objects and their role in promoting health. As we delve deeper into this illustration, it becomes clear that Crucius has masterfully captured the essence of medical science through his artistry. The Antikamnia Calendar serves as a reminder of our fascination with finding relief from pain and maintaining good health throughout history. This print invites us to ponder upon the strange beauty found within pharmacies - places where bottles hold secrets to our well-being, skeletons remind us of our mortality, and oddity intertwines with scientific progress.
