Old label "Pure Cod Liver Oil"

Large antique pharmaceutical label printed on paper, intended for "Pure Cod Liver Oil," sourced from the Vaago Islands in the Lofoten archipelago of Norway. The elegant design combines Belle Époque typography in black and red with a central illustration of a fish, framed by an elegant ornamental border. The text details the manufacturing process by cold pressing, decantation, and filtration, highlighting a clear, bright, and easily digestible oil, according to pharmaceutical standards at the turn of the 20th century. The "Christiania Brand" designation and the price indicated in francs place this label within the context of pre-war European pharmacopoeia, somewhere between medical information and commercial communication.
