Description: | The early years of the Victorian era were blighted by outbreaks of infectious diseases; but they were also a time of unprecedented research in chemistry and growth in the pharmaceutical industry. The Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain was founded in 1841, obliging all chemists to put themselves on a national register.
The windows of Victorian chemists, such as this one, were brightly coloured with distinctive bottles containing a variety of available drugs. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Medicine And Healthcare Science And Technology Medicine Trade And Economics | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
