A charming advertising box made of cardboard covered in soft green paper, typical of early 20th-century confectionery packaging. The inscription "Chocolat-Vinay Lacté – Tablettes des Bébés" (Baby Chocolates) , printed in elegant brown type, evokes the nourishing products intended for children at a time when milk chocolate embodied modern food. On the reverse, the original printed label indicates the serial number and price (No. 8 – 0.250 F), as well as a small typographic stamp. A rare surviving example of complete paper packaging, with a very understated advertising design.
