A small, lithographed tin veterinary medicine box, intended for canine pills against canine illness in young dogs, under the name Henri Privat. The understated, clinical typography, enhanced by a green "Veterinary Use" banner, perfectly reflects the aesthetic of veterinary and pharmaceutical products from the Belle Époque. The printed price and geographical references to Rabastens (Tarn) and Gaillac attest to a structured commercial distribution at the turn of the 20th century. This miniature format was designed for precise and controlled use, and is now highly sought after for veterinary pharmacopoeia collections and cabinets of curiosities.
