Packet of Potato Starch
Circa 1920
Original vintage stock
This 60-gram packet of potato starch bears witness to an era when this product was not merely a culinary ingredient, but a staple of the pharmaceutical compendium. In pharmacies, starch served as a neutral binder for compounded powders, a base for making tablets, or a soothing and absorbent powder for skin irritations.
Never used, still sealed.
A visual testament to the history of pharmacy and commerce in the early 20th century,
It comes from the former cellar-laboratory of a Parisian pharmacy. The vials and other items 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.
