Antique Packaging

In order to give me a kick start with my second packaging brief I took a trip to the library to find the most fascinating book on packaging. There were many options but one entitled 'Antique Packaging' caught my eye the most. It is a book full of pictures, both product shots and macro shots. There is very little text and the examples are split into simple categories such as 'pharmacy' and 'tobacco'. Below are a few of my favourite pages from the book, however this is only a very small selection. I think I could have scanned the whole thing in there are that many examples I loved.
