Victorian Pharmacy is a new BBC series recreating the work of an actual Victorian Pharmacy (minus the opium and arsenic, of course).

Here's a video with great shots of the interior.

Thanks to Robert Williams Hitchin for pointing this out.

I seem to know two young people studying to be pharmacists, and two inspirational images of pharmacy inspired interiors came across my desk recently -- I thought budding pharmacists would be as interested in old fashioned, romantic, pharmacy inspired living as I am in difference engines and abacuses.

Here's the first -- the creative workspace of Elizabeth Maxson, featured in Where Women Create, May 2010. She uses a painted drug store cabinet to hold all of her supplies (above).


I love this dispensing decanter -- Ben thinks we ought to use a collection of these to set up a bar!
