Lascoff Prescriptions
[previous] :: [next]OK, after Sine's post, Prescriptions, it seems appropriate to post some Rx's of my own. This is from an upper east side institution, Lascoff Apothecary.
It's a classic apothecary, offering many cures, tinctures, and "analyses" in its day.
I love this mortar and pestle detail.
The ivy says it all...
Anyone read Latin? This phrase presumably attests to the proprietor's, well, propriety.
The large front windows display wonderful keepsakes from the past, including many old prescriptions.
And the building itself in various incarnations over the years. How's that for "meta"?

Peter: 1st Dec 2005 - 17:57 GMTheh. i took EIGHT YEARS of latin in school. that is something i rarely admit, but in this venue, i feel like less of a dork ;) ian: 2nd Dec 2005 - 08:28 GMTPeter, I also took 4 years of latin in grade school. What do I remember? Nothing. Except: Vir Obesus Sole Ambulat. My motto.
Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 2nd Dec 2005 - 14:26 GMTAnd as long as we don't quite remember it, it's not a dead language yet. elaine: 2nd Dec 2005 - 15:53 GMTWoah jamie! i didn't know you could talk! ahahahahahahahahhaha ::bonk:: jack: 2nd Dec 2005 - 16:28 GMThahahahaha you all are very intelligent and humorous. i think Ian is saying, when you cut it off, cut it off big.
