Victorian Graphics are brilliant

Recently went along to see this intriguingly old Victorian surgery of all places

hidden above and behind and old church in kings cross.
its a gem of history in the middle of town.

Im really into the odd history still alive in london, how we have centuries old buildings,
monuments and whatnot all squidged alongside a Boots and Ladbrokes etc
Im really into these old labels, intrigued by the old handpainted adverts you can still see emerging into the 21st century now and then, this place was great.
particuly love some of the brutal old ingredients and selling points:
"IT KILLS PAIN"
brilliant

look at the age and colour!
wabi sabi in your face




arent these old etches just uber Olde

victorian time=bleak times


does what it says on the tin



medicine garden
ominous
