Pharmacy - The show globe Poster
In the past, apothecary's would advertise themselves using a device called a Show Globe. A glass shape that would hang in a window or just sit there. Often filled with coloured water (coloured by them because they were surrounded by many staining chemicals). There isn't a lot know about the colour choices they used. Some say that Red was chosen if there was a plague in the city. Green was used to show there was no plague now. Later on coloured glass globes were used, as the old method would stain the glass. Show globes are kind of like the barber pole of the pharmacy world. They aren't used much more these days though.

I hung this in the stairwell of our house, near some other Renoir pictures. My daughter says it looks like she is looking at her when she walks up the stairs.
it's called "The Excursionist", she is holding a walking stick. Renoir was an impressionist, I don't think this is an actual person. The finished framed picture arrived and looks better than the online pic - Beautiful!

Absolutely superb Art Deco poster. The colours are vibrant, sympathetic to the era and perfect for use. I framed it and hung above the entrance to my Art Deco inspired lounge room. Stunning! The print is precise, clear and of an excellent standard. It was cleverly packaged so there wasn’t a blemish or crease. Perfect!
