Specimens of druggists' labels...letter-press printing, etc
A trade specimen book of druggists' label designs and letterpress printing samples, issued around 1885 in San Jose, California, by the McNeil Bros. printing firm for pharmacists and apothecaries to choose from. The pictures show ornate Victorian label layouts with mixed display type, decorative rules, scrollwork borders, and framed vignettes, which a designer could draw on for period label typography and border arrangements.
