Set of seven small clear glass pharmacy bottles, preserved with their cork stoppers and original handwritten labels. The visible inscriptions refer to plant substances and alkaloids used in pharmacopoeia and homeopathy at the end of the 19th century - "Corydalis", "Digitalis", "Gelsemium", as well as dilution or preparation indications. The presence of internal residues and traces of handling confirms actual medicinal use. The typographic labels with blue borders, characteristic of pharmacy preparations of this period, bring a beautiful visual homogeneity to the set.
