Photo: OLD HUNGARIAN PHARMACIES, Livia Nekam, Corvina Press 1968.

"The author describes apothecary vessels that have survived from the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, ... the most beautiful of the pharmacy interiors and furnishings from the Empire and Biedermeier periods." A small format but fascinating book with a fantastic range of colour photographic plates and interesting historical detail. (submitted by Jody McKim)
