Vial "Joints - Shoulder, elbow, knee...", 1919 (f47)

Small transparent glass laboratory bottle, preserved with its original annotated cork stopper. The handwritten label mentions "Joints - Shoulder, elbow, hip and knee", accompanied by a dilution indication "1/10" and a date "April 1919". This preparation seems to group different joint elements, probably used in an experimental or therapeutic context, possibly in connection with research in rheumatology or articular physiology. This type of bottle illustrates medical practices of the early 20th century, between anatomical observation and attempts to understand joint pathologies.
