As I said I am constantly inspired by work - as museographer at the History of Pharmacy Collection. The largest part of the collection consists, naturally, of old jars and bottles, painted, with inscriptions and signatures in Latin, sometimes with the symbols of the respective pharmacies. I thus proceeded in making this over-sized linocut (40 x 65 cm). Rendering the signatures in reverse was a bit tricky, but I am not unhappy with the result. And the ink variations were left to suggest the age and wear of the historical artifacts in question. See more images of the work in progress on Facebook.
