- Abstract
- With a pharmacy and botanic garden in the background, Dodart’s seventeenth-century vignette depicts the process of preparing medical simples from plant to bottle. While laborers toil at the scales and distilling furnace, gentlemen-philosophers, clerics and physicians discuss the latest developments in pharmacoepia.
