Product Description

After a brief historical introduction and a description of a Victorian chemist and druggist's shop, this book describes and illustrates many of the items used and sold there.

Articles sold over the counter included medicines, perfumes and toiletries and a wide variety of objects used in the sickroom or nursery. The book also contains a chapter on medical and surgical instruments and will help in the identification of the medical bygones which were in everyday use in the nineteenth century.Format: A5; 32 pages; black & white illustrations throughout; card covers.Sold and despatched by the worlds largest supplier of Metal Detecting Books: Spin--Disc Metal Detectors
