Great moments in pharmacy: development of the Robert Thom series depicting pharmacy's history.
نویسنده
چکیده
Moments in Pharmacy had its origins in the mind of a single pharmacist during the Great Depression. Nurtured for more than a decade, and pursued with fervor for 20 years after that, the idea led to the creation of these paintings and the accompanying stories, which for 50 years have used the tools of art and narrative to present highlights of the most important events in the ancient profession of pharmacy. In this article, developed to commemorate the American Pharmaceutical Association’s sesquicentennial year, readers will find a description of how the dream of this pharmacist, coupled with vigilance of a talented and detail-oriented artist, led to development of this major series of paintings on the history of pharmacy. Prominent paintings in the Great Moments in Pharmacy series are presented here with an emphasis on those works set in the Americas and relevant to the founding of APhA and its impact over the past 150 years.
