Description
This is an Antique 1898 magazine ad for Eskay’s Albumenized Food, featuring a beautiful illustration of twin babies surrounded by ornate artwork. This is an original page removed from an 1898 publication — not a reprint.
Measures approximately 7\" × 4.5\".
The ad highlights the nutritional benefits of Eskay’s Albumenized Food for infants and invalids and includes a testimonial from Mrs. Greene of Brooklyn, New York. Printed by Smith, Kline & French Company of Philadelphia — one of the early predecessors of today’s GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).
This original 1898 advertisement is over 125 years old, making it a true antique piece of medical and baby-product history. Perfect for collectors of vintage ads, early pharmaceutical brands, baby-themed artwork, or historical home-journal prints.
Fun Fact (History of the Company)
Eskay’s Food was produced by Smith, Kline & French, founded in the 1800s and later merged multiple times, eventually becoming part of modern-day GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) — one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. This ad represents one of the company’s very early product lines aimed at infant nutrition.
