EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a glimpse into the world of medicine in the late 19th century. The image showcases a Medicine Chest dating back to around 1890-1900, created by the Chinese School of that era. Measuring at 8x62x45.5 cm, this mixed media masterpiece is now housed in the Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums. The intricate details within this chest are truly mesmerizing. Filled with an assortment of ointments, dried insects and lizards, as well as various charms brought from China during that time period, it offers a fascinating insight into traditional medicinal practices. Every item within this chest tells its own story - each ingredient carefully selected for its believed healing properties or mystical significance. This collection represents not only the artistry and craftsmanship of Chinese culture but also their deep-rooted beliefs in natural remedies and spiritual protection. As we gaze upon this print by Bridgeman Images, we can't help but be transported back to a time when medicine was both science and magic intertwined. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding of healthcare while also honoring the rich traditions that have shaped our medical history. This artwork invites us to explore beyond what meets the eye; it encourages us to delve deeper into cultures long gone and appreciate their contributions to our collective knowledge on health and well-being.
