Lithographed tinplate pastille box "EUPHON"

An old lithographed tin advertising box for EUPHON pastilles, a remedy designed to relieve hoarseness, coughs, and throat irritations. Its particularly striking red design is dominated by an ancient theater mask, an evocative symbol of voice and public speaking. Produced by Mayoly-Spindler laboratories in Rueil-Malmaison, this small pharmaceutical box perfectly illustrates the advertising objects distributed in French pharmacies during the interwar period. Its clean design and vibrant color make it a sought-after piece today by collectors of old pharmaceutical advertising.
