Description

This document, visible in the photo, is a vintage prescription or medical examination form, issued by Doctor Ranque, a biologist in Marseille. The paper features a layout typical of the early 1950s, with black printing on a white background. The letterhead precisely indicates the address of the practice: 16, rue Dragon - Marseille, as well as a detailed list of biological analyses and examinations offered at that time, ranging from blood tests to hormone assays, as well as analyses of biological fluids and histological examinations.

The document bears the handwritten inscription "Examen n° 489126" and the date January 15, 1951, clearly written in blue ink. The patient's name "Mlle Ishome" and the physician's signature "Docteur R. Ranque" are also visible. At the top of the sheet, a handwritten annotation "Lab" is present, adding to the authenticity and historical interest of this medical paper.

The appearance of the paper, its printed letterhead with sober typography, and its neat presentation evoke the administrative and medical style of post-war France. The sheet is photographed on an antique wooden desk, with a bookcase of bound books in the background, reinforcing the vintage and heritage atmosphere of the object.

The visible side shows no tears or major stains, only some slight traces of use, consistent with a vintage document. The inscriptions remain perfectly legible, both the printing and the handwritten text. The corners of the paper are slightly curled, indicating old but careful handling.

This type of medical prescription, issued by a renowned biologist, constitutes concrete evidence of the organization of healthcare and laboratory practices in France in the early 1950s. It is an archival paper object, sought after for its historical and documentary interest in the medical and administrative fields.
