Abstract:
Postcard of an unknown pharmacy. Card features a yellowing black and white photo reproduction of the outside of the drugstore. A man stands in the open doorway of the store, a large lamp above the door. The man is balding with a dark mustache, wearing a dark 3-piece suit with a pocket watch chain. Behind him shelves of bottles can be seen. Above the door is a sign for "Bovril all beef", and the sides of the left storefront window say "Kodaks & Solio P.O.P. kept in stock." Both storefront windows have large glass jar-like objects on stands above framed pictures. The left window has advertising for "Veritas ring" and "throat pastilles". On the very left is a closed door, and below the windows are grates.
