About this work
Description
The last in a four-part series in which historian Ruth Goodman, Professor Nick Barber and PhD student Tom Quick recreate an authentic 19th-century pharmacy. In this part the team work through to the end of the Victorian era. Tom looks at photography and dentistry, Ruth makes condoms out of sheep's intestines and Nick learns how to make the Victorian version of aspirin. They also look at making their own brand of perfume. Finally, the team reflect on the revolution in public healthcare that meant there was soon a chemist's shop in every town in the country.
