Ever since I documented the contents of Dow's Pharmacy in Chiltern for the National Trust, I've been fascinated by nineteeth century medicine bottles.
When we were in Melbourne recently, I noticed an impressive display of nineteenth century medicine bottles in a pharmacy on Wellington Parade in East Melbourne.
To try and give an impression of the size and range of the collection I've used an online jpeg stitcher to combine my images.
It's not ideal, but it does give an impression of the collection.
I'm happy for you to right click and download the images, but for a more detailed view here are the individual images in left to right order
If you do want to take a look yourself, remember it's a working pharmacy, not a museum, the staff have a job to do and customers to serve, so it's best to go at a quiet time and it would probably be appreciated if you bought a couple of things when you visited.
