About this work

Description

Product literature and promotional material produced by Burroughs Wellcome & Co, 1903-1904.

Including separate circulars for markets in North America, Australia, New Zealand, India, Egypt and South Africa.

The Guardbook offers a good indication of the wide range of Burroughs Wellcome & Co products on offer at the time, from tonics such as Kepler and Beef & Iron Wine to the more medicinal 'Tabloid' and 'Soloid' range.

It also includes examples of the literature sent by Henry Wellcome to groups and individuals asking for items which he could display in a forthcoming Historical Medical Exhibition (and a card from Wellcome noting the postponement of the Exhibition, p73).

Also promotional material on the Burroughs Wellcome & Co exhibit at the 1903-1904 St Louis Exposition, and 'Antient Cymric Medicine' and 'Oxford Medical Lore', souvenir booklets produced for the 1903 and 1904 British Medical Conferences in Swansea and Oxford respectively.

The Guardbook also includes material relating to the 'Tabloid' Appeal Case, Burroughs Wellcome & Co v Thomson and Capper.

The volume has been conserved, items have been removed from the original Guardbook and remounted in sleeves and ringbinders. This enables researchers to easily read items (front and reverse) without damage to the original. The original order has been retained.

Due to the size of the original Guardbook it has been split into 2 albums:

WF/M/GB/01/05/01:
pp1-50
WF/M/GB/01/05/02:
pp51-130
