This unique collection of vintage medical ephemera includes three authentic prescription-related pieces from the early 20th century—perfect for junk journalers, collage artists, or vintage-style design projects.

A Handwritten Prescription (1931):
Scanned from the original, this prescription was written in pencil by Dr. Leon Matassarin, an obstetrician and gynecologist, for a patient named Katie Kopp on March 26, 1931. The softly faded graphite and classic apothecary-style script offer a beautifully authentic glimpse into vintage medical practice.

Vintage Medical Conversion Chart:
An early 20th-century dosage chart converting grains and fluid drachms into approximate milligrams and cubic centimeters. This is an excellent piece of reference ephemera or background filler with plenty of aged character.

Blank Prescription Form – Dr. Chas. E. Brown:
A pristine, unused prescription slip issued by Dr. Charles E. Brown, featuring a simple but classic layout with period typography and printed contact details. Great for stamping, layering, or digitally altering in your creative projects.

These three printable vintage prescription ephemera images are scanned from real documents from my collection that are now in the public domain due to age. Feel free to download and use them in your own work—whether you’re crafting altered books, building apothecary-themed pages, or adding antique flair to handmade journals.
