A printed label for Ashburton Sauce, recommended for soup, game, meat, poultry, wild fowl and fish, this piece is a food advertisement rather than a patent medicine, which is how the cataloguers have treated it. Its date is given as about 1843, yet it is also filed among labels and prints from 1860 to 1870, so the exact decade remains uncertain. Labels like this were meant to catch the eye of shoppers in crowded shops, and the crest and seal motifs noted in its subject headings appear to be an attempt to lend the product an air of respectability. The copyright line credits Osborn & Tone.
