An account of the resource
Promotional 17th century Delft reproduction ceramic pill tile produced by the Burroughs, Wellcome & Co. for their Pharmacy Scholarship Program. The front of the tile depicts a group of people having a discussion while standing outside of the apothecary. The top of the tile depicts unicorns flanking a small Wellcome coat of arms. The following description is glued to the back of the tile on a piece of paper. "In the 18th Century in Europe, people often gathered outside their local apothecary shop to discuss the latest events of the day. It was a time of momentous happenings, both on the scale of world events and on the scale of scientific discoveries. Pharmacists were often the most available and sometimes the only representatives of the natural sciences in a community, and willingly disseminated the new scientific knowledge among their fellow citizens. First the American Revolution in 1776, and then the French Revolution in 1789, shook people around the world from an attitude of passive resignation into one of active participation in all levels of thinking. Inventions abounded: the power of steam was harnessed by James Watt in 1750, that of lightning and electricity by Benjamin Franklin in 1752, and that in a battery by Alessandro Volta in the late 1700s. In 1783, the Montgolfier brothers lifted off in their famous balloon, and the following year the first mail was delivered by coach in London. Gaslight was introduced into cities in 1807. In the world of medicine and pharmacy, the old battled the new. Bloodletting, cupping and purging were still respected practices. Healthcare practitioners still administered large, often fatal doses of mercury and arsenic, or the ineffective but durable Theriac, a holdover from medicine in the Middle Ages. Epidemics raged on, including cholera, bubonic plague, typhus, malaria and diphtheria. But new scientific thinking began to lead to real medical progress. Antoine Lavoisier developed the first workable understanding of the respiratory system (although he was beheaded for his efforts!), and Joseph Priestly earned distinction for the discovery of oxygen. William Withering isolated digitalis to cure dropsy in 1785, Edward Jenner stunned the world with his vaccination technique against smallpox in 1798, and Friedrich Seturner proved the merits of morphine. Indeed, suddenly there was a lot for the public to think about and to discuss on street corners. This handcrafted Delft porcelain tile has been commissioned by Burroughs Wellcome to commemorate its ongoing Pharmacy Scholarship Program. The support of pharmacists like yourself has enabled us for many years to aid deserving students in completing their pharmacy education. Thank you for your commitment to the future of pharmacy.

Description
An account of the resource
Promotional 17th century Delft reproduction ceramic pill tile produced by the Burroughs, Wellcome & Co. for their Pharmacy Scholarship Program. The front of the tile depicts a woman pharmacist preparing medication for her waiting sick patient. The top of the tile depicts unicorns flanking a small Wellcome coat of arms. The following description is glued to the back of the tile on a piece of paper. "Women have been prominent in pharmacy since earliest history. The Ebers Papyrus from ancient Egypt (c. 1500 B.C.) mentions that the goddess Tefnut compounded medicines for the great god Ra. Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, wrote several books on cosmetics and perfumes, and as her interest in pharmacy developed, wrote several more volumes containing prescriptions for women's diseases. Bas reliefs from ancient Rome show women pharmacists grinding various ingredients to make into dermatological salves and ointments. In Astia (Italy) a noblewoman named Fabiola cared for the sick, compounded medicaments, and even founded a hospital-in 398 A.D.! From the 5th to the 11th centuries the pharmaceutical tradition in any form all but disappeared from Europe. Isolated monks wrote a few practical works, usually about botanicals. By and large, however, healthcare practitioners relied on sorcery, incantations, astrology and folklore. Then around 1150 the Abess Hildegard of Bingen (German) produced two treatises on health and medications entitled "Physica" and "Causes and Cures," which were the first tentative beginnings of a new systematic pharmaceutical literature. The famous medical school of Salerno was the first anywhere to hire a woman professor, Trotula. She wrote a classic work on women's health which was the first of its kind in Europe to advise physicians, pharmacists and patients alike on facts, not magic. It became a household text. By the 14th century licenses were becoming required to practice medicine and pharmacy, and were theoretically available to anyone who could pass the examinations and obtain the apprenticeships required. However, it wasn't until wave after wave of the plague decimated the population of Europe, reducing social fabric to chaos, that women were suddenly able to fill many positions previously occupied by men. Pharmacy was one of the outstanding ones. The scene on this tile shows a woman pharmacist of the early eighteenth century dispensing medicaments to a mother and her child. Note the sanitary, tidy appearance of the shop and the rows of apothecary jars displayed proudly on the pharmacist's shelves. Porcelain pill tiles were used to prepare medications in early apothecary shops. They were awarded to pharmacists upon completion of their formal training and in recognition of their service to the community. In keeping with this fine tradition, Burroughs Wellcome has commissioned craftsmen in Delft, Holland, to create a series of handmade tiles. This limited edition is part of our Pharmacy Scholarship Program. (BW-Y02896)."
