Ever wondered what a Japanese "pharmaceutical" advertisement looked like in 1880? Look no further. Courtesy of the amazing UCSF Japanese Woodblock Print Collection, behold this woodblock advertisement for a product called "Kinder-Puwder." More details are available from the UCSF Library. The collection is a treasure trove of woodblock prints on health-related themes.
