Apothecaries donor window, Life of St Nicholas
A chemist preparing a remedy with a pestle and mortar, donor window of the apothecaries, from the Life of St Nicholas stained glass window, 13th century, in the North aisle of the nave of Chartres cathedral, Eure-et-Loir, France. St Nicholas, 270-343 AD, was born in Patara in Lycia (now Turkey) and was bishop of Myra. Chartres cathedral was built 1194-1250 and is a fine example of Gothic architecture. Most of its windows date from 1205-40 although a few earlier 12th century examples are also intact. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Picture by Manuel Cohen
