Apothekersetiket voor levertraanemulsie 1884 - 1952

This anonymous drawing, “Apothekersetiket voor levertraanemulsie,” was created as a design for a label for cod liver oil emulsion, a medicine commonly used in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The drawing, dating from 1884 to 1952, is likely a preparatory sketch for a printed label. The composition is simple, consisting of a stylized design with the inscription "Levertraanemulsie" (Cod Liver Oil Emulsion). The style of the drawing, with its intricate lines and curves, is reminiscent of the Art Nouveau movement, which was popular in Europe during this period. The label design, with its emphasis on clarity and legibility, is typical of commercial art of the time.
