Achille Brioschi & Cie was primarily a druggist-phamacist located in Milan, Italy. The company was founded in 1906 to produce chemicals and liquors. During its early years, Brioschi advertised the benefits of Lysoform on the back of the La Poste cards.  Lysoform is a scented solution of potash soap with formaldehyde, mostly used as a disinfectant. The Brioschi La Poste postcards have the company’s logo and sales message on the reverse. The coloful postcards were printed using the new chromolithography printing process from 1906 to 1911.

 

The company still exists today and it is still producing the antacid Brioschi that comes in a distinctive blue bottle.
