About this work

Description

Contact prints of images of advertisements relating to Burroughs Wellcome & Co and their products.

The majority of the images derive from advertisements contained in the series of Guardbooks (WF/M/GB) in the Wellcome Foundation Archive.

The prints have been arranged alphabetically. Previous cataloguing has titled, numbered and dated the images (the somewhat approximate date of the images derives from them being dated by the date of the Guardbook they derive from).
