EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "MARYLAND: MEDICINE STORE" takes us back to the early 20th century in Hagerstown, Maryland. The image captures an exterior view of a patent medicine shop, frozen in time by photographer Arthur Rothstein in 1937. The storefront stands proudly amidst the North-Eastern landscape, its sign boldly proclaiming its purpose. Through the window, we catch a glimpse of a world filled with promises and deception. This is an era when patent medicines were widely sold without regulation or scientific evidence of their effectiveness. The scene evokes curiosity as we wonder about the potions and elixirs that lined those shelves. What ailments did they claim to cure? Were they truly effective or merely clever marketing ploys? Rothstein's composition allows us to appreciate both the architectural details of the building and the historical context it represents. The simplicity of his approach highlights not only the store but also invites contemplation on society's reliance on such remedies during this period. As we observe this snapshot from history through Granger Art on Demand's print, let us reflect on how far medical science has progressed since then. It serves as a reminder of our collective journey towards evidence-based medicine while appreciating our ancestors' ingenuity and resourcefulness in seeking relief for their ailments.
