    printing block man painting house paint can framed in MORTAR & PESTLE drug store
    Very unusual vintage printers block of man with paint brush, holding can of paint, framed inside mortar and pestle!
    Why is a house painter framed inside a mortar and pestle the ancient symbol of preparing cures and drugs? Is it a house painter’s advertisement that he can cure a “sick” room or house? Or to advertise a paint that will keep your house healthy? Very strange.
    Excellent vintage condition as shown in photos.
    This block is about 2½” tall; type high.
