The Many Faces of Sleep: A Collection of Pictures and Pointers
An unusual mid-20th-century promotional booklet exploring sleep through photography, short texts, and visual commentary. The publication was issued as a pharmaceutical giveaway, presented by Wallace Pharmaceuticals in connection with Optimil 400 (methaqualone HCl). The content combines art-historical imagery, modern photography, and lifestyle-oriented advice, reflecting the visual language and medical culture of its era.
Softcover booklet with photographic plates and graphic design characteristic of period medical and pharmaceutical ephemera. Very good vintage condition overall, with visible edge wear and surface loss to the rear cover consistent with age and handling. A compelling crossover piece for collectors of medical ephemera, drug-culture history, graphic design, and sleep-related themes.
