Description

This period document is an original prescription or examination sheet from a medical biology laboratory, dated August 26, 1946. It is an official administrative paper issued by Dr. Ranque's laboratory, located at 16 rue Dragon in Marseille, as indicated on the letterhead. The document features professional typographic printing, typical of French medical forms from the immediate post-war period.

On the visible side, we can see the mention "LABORATOIRE DE BIOLOGIE MÉDICALE" (MEDICAL BIOLOGY LABORATORY) in bold, centered letters. The services offered by the laboratory are listed at the top of the sheet: chemical blood tests, bacteriological analyses, histological examinations, biological diagnoses, autovaccines, bacterial vaccines, etc. Everything is printed in black on paper with a yellowed appearance, testament to its age.

The document bears the handwritten date of August 26, 1946, as well as the examination number 368981, typed. We can also distinguish the handwritten mention "Prélèvement 24/8" (Sample 24/8), as well as the doctor's name, "M. Blane Henri," written in blue ink. The graphic style, typography, and presentation are representative of French medical administrative papers from the post-World War II era.

The overall condition of the paper shows a patina of use: slight discoloration due to age, slightly dog-eared corners, and a visible fold on the upper part. No major chips or tears are visible on the exposed side. The document is laid flat on a dark wooden tray, which highlights the ivory hue of the paper.

This type of medical archive is interesting both for its historical aspect and for the insight it provides into the practice of medical biology in France in the 1940s. It is an authentic piece, both administrative and medical, typical of the post-World War II period.
