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

Pharmacy and fitting brand - Miss Hélène Deux, Bandagiste & 1st class Herbalist

Officine sign panel in painted wood from the 19th-20th century hinge: 1890-1920.

The sign is made of 2 reinforced wood panels at the back. There is a space between the 2 panels.

The sign features a superb art lettering entirely made freehand by a letter painter (superb contrasts of blue and brown, neat full and loose) 

Witness to the history of pharmacy and ancient orthopaedics: the bandagist shaping leather and frames for corsets and restraints, and the herbalist 1st class, a profession that has disappeared since the abolition of the diploma in 1941.
