Description Colorized photo from 1876Original title: Hance Bros. & White's exhibit--Main BuildingPhotographer: Centennial PhotographicLocation: 4231 Avenue of the Republic, Philadelphia, PAIsn't that a great display? We are in the Centennial 1876 Exposition in Philadelphia. It's a place where over 14,000 people, businesses and countries showed off their wares in the most decorative way possible.Hance Brothers & White were flavor chemists. Though they did have a small range of drug related products ranging from cough medicine, bronchitis, sore throat treatments, hearing and urinary problems. I assume it was a range of drugs and not a cure all for all of them, and they probably tasted really good.In the past soda was sold in pharmacies, usually as a way to deliver medicine or just as a tonic of some kind. And this company sold the flavors for those soda's. Drinks were sometimes sold as a tonic using mineral water, or if carbonation as added, a soda. They had a many flavors such as: Raspberry, blackberry, cherry, peach, pear, grape, strawberry, plum, quince, currant and more. They sold it as a liquid, syrup and as a powder. Many flavors came from actual fruit and others were simulated artificial flavors. Those devices on the bottom were called Conical plate drug mills, and the clear glass items on the bottom left shelf were some kind of filtration device. It's unknown if they sold or used these, or just needed interesting filler.
Mike Savad, Westfield, NJ Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
