Old white glass pharmaceutical bottle from Établissements Darrasse Frères in Paris, retaining its spectacular original red "Neutral Atropine Sulfate" label with the double mention "POISON". It still has its cork stopper and its partially preserved guarantee seal. The address "13 rue Pavée, Paris" as well as the company name "Établissements Darrasse Frères - Société Anonyme" allow this bottle to be dated after the company's transformation into a limited company in 1923. Atropine sulfate, an alkaloid extracted from belladonna, was widely used in ophthalmology and as an antispasmodic, but its strong toxicity required specific labeling. A sought-after model for the graphic quality of its red "Poison" label.
