These highly detailed historical illustrations have particular appeal to pharmacists, pharmacy schools, medical professionals, pharmaceutical historians, apothecary collectors, and collectors of vintage medical advertising and ephemera.
Completeness
All 40 prints are present.
The artwork collection itself is therefore complete. The set originally had five accompanying descriptive/information inserts; three are included and two are not present. This is disclosed separately so there is no confusion between the completeness of the 40-print series and the accompanying paperwork.
Vintage condition with age-related wear possible. Please examine all photographs closely, as they are an important part of the condition description.
The complete collection is being sold together and will not be separated.
Finding individual examples of these prints is considerably easier than assembling the entire 40-print 1957–1962 series, making this an excellent opportunity to acquire the complete Robert Thom History of Pharmacy artwork collection at once.
