Mini "Albupast" box, early 20th century

A small, antique, cylindrical pharmaceutical box, originally intended for the packaging of "Albupast," a laboratory preparation from the former Levigier & Cie establishment in Levallois-Perret, under the supervision of pharmacist Jean Huerre. The circular top label, printed in pink and black, indicates the dosage and original price, while the base retains the detailed formula with a list of components and the price in francs. This miniature format, typical of early 20th-century pharmaceutical preparations, provides a precise record of French pharmaceutical practice before industrial standardization.
