S W F Holloway's Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain 1841-1991: a political and social history traces the professional and legislative history of British pharmacy through the years leading up to and since the formation of the Pharmaceutical Society in 1841. The pharmacists' story is set firmly in its social and historical context, giving an illuminating picture of 150 years of medicine and commerce.
Pharmacy history: a pictorial record draws on the Society's archive of some 7,000 historic photographs to include engaging portraits of the founding members, late 19th century views of the Society's "house" at Bloomsbury and a splendidly evocative range of period shops.
The Bruising Apothecary: images of pharmacy and medicine in caricature is a comprehensive, well illustrated catalogue of the Museum's fine collection of 18th and 19th century caricature prints with a medical theme.
The Museum has produced an attractive new range of 24 postcards and four greetings cards. All the images have been chosen from the Museum's unique collections and every card gives a fascinating glimpse into pharmacy history.
There are sharply satirical 19th century caricatures poking fun at medics and their patients, fine botanical bookplates, beautifully illustrated pages from wholesaler's trade catalogues, photographs of traditional pharmacy shops and workshops and splendid drug storage jars and dispensary tools from the Museum's collections.
