Nursery Hair Lotion : for the immediate destruction of all troublesome pests so often found in the heads of children : it cleanses the head and promotes the growth of the hair.

This is a label which would have been applied to either a bottle of the Lotion or the box it was sold in, probably dating from the early 1900s. It includes directions for use on the two side panels but no details of its manufacturer. The central panel has a picture of a smiling young girl with long, dark, ringlets inside a wreath border in the middle of the text. A yellow ochre border with blackberry leaf, vine and flower motifs surrounds that. We have a smaller label (EPH400:13) which may have been for a smaller size bottle. There is space at the bottom for the retailer to have their details overprinted.
