DescriptionThis printing plate for Henry's Pharmacy has a large rectangular wooden base with a metal surface embossed on one side. Beside a design of a decorative bracket holding a vase with the Rx symbol in the center, raised purple text indicates that the block was used at Henry's Pharmacy which was located at 1523 Fourth Street Northwest, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The words "Henry's Pharmacy" is larger with a diagonal direction in block text, and the telephone number 3-4506 is below above the address. Popular in the 1950s, the company continued for the next two decades and now the building is with new owners.
