Abstract:
Postcard of a German pharmacy's storefront window, "Krempe" the only part of the name seen. Card features a black and white photo reproduction of the outside of the drugstore. The top left part is covered by the sky's reflection on the glass. Many signs and posters advertising medical products near the top, one with the face of a black man. Boxes and bottles in the bottom half of the window, some with price tags. In the bottom left is a small first aid tent with dolls of a female nurse treating a male patient. The nurse is dressed like a nun in black and white clothes holding bandages, and the man is lying down on a cot with his head and leg wrapped.
