Set of three pretty small miniature glass bottles with corks covered with tied paper, bearing a printed label "Chemisches Laboratorium" supplemented with handwritten inscriptions indicating dosages (½ gram) and the name of substances or preparations. The visible contents - powders, granules or fragments - evoke laboratory samples or experimental pharmacology. The set presents a strong visual coherence, typical of Germanic or Central European scientific practices from the early 20th century, with this characteristic mixture of standardized printed labels and individual handwritten annotations.
