Description

Potassium cyanide and iron

Also known as yellow potassium prussiate

Antique 19th-century pharmacy bottle – Mouth-blown glass – Cork stopper and metal cap

A very fine 19th-century label. The cartouche, with its acanthus scrolls and Didone typeface (recognisable by the ‘y’, for example), is highly representative of the aesthetic of French apothecary shops in the second half of the 19th century.

Unlike pure cyanide, this compound is historically classified as low-toxicity. In the 19th century, it was widely used in industry for the manufacture of Prussian Blue (pigment) or for the cyanotype process (photography).

Bottle height: 24cm Diameter: 9.5cm

Datura powder

Antique earthenware pot

Intended for the exclusive use of pharmacists for making magistral preparations, the jar displays the regulatory labels "TOXIC" and the red banner "POISON".

Indicating to the pharmacist that it must be stored separately from other substances in the cabinet for toxic substances, the famous ‘poison cabinet’.

It comes from the former cellar-laboratory of a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not been moved from the shelves since the late 1950s. The cellar had served as a medical analysis laboratory and a laboratory for the pharmacy’s compounded preparations from 1900 until around 1950.
