A small, lithographed tin advertising box for the famous Job's lozenges, presented in an unusual hinged format, with a red and cream design typical of the Belle Époque. The printed sides extol the soothing properties of the lozenges for the throat and mouth, with detailed commercial information (wholesale, address in Poitiers). The box retains a marked but even patina of use, which enhances its authenticity and graphic charm. An emblematic object of early confectionery-medicines and of counter advertising at the turn of the 20th century.
