A Quacksalver is a charlatan, someone who invents medicines and cures and boasts about their efficacy. These hand embroidered and embellished textile objects, purses and adornments use illustrations of Victorian advertisements for medicines and cure-alls and Victorian anatomical drawings (sourced from Gray’s and Quain’s Anatomy text books) printed onto silk.
