Vintage Pharmacy Packaging Design – Part 1

I was fortunate enough a few weeks ago to be at an auction where a pharmacy and been packed up, stored in a shed and abandoned for 50 or more years.

There were some amazing finds – I couldn’t afford the exquisite pharmacological bottles with their beautiful typography and coloured glass – but I did get a number of small items – like these amazing examples of vintage packaging, most still intact with their original substances.

I will share the images of these fascinating items over the coming days in several posts. I love some of the instructions! Enjoy.
