Green River Whiskey Reproduction Framed Print
Included in this lot we have a framed reproduction print of the Green River Whiskey advertising sing originating from the mid to late 1900's. The sign was first introduced in the late 1800's and was used both before and after the American Prohibition. The piece shows an African American man with a wide smile as he holds the reigns of a black horse with a five gallon jug of Green River whiskey across the back of the saddle. The jug in the piece is marked "Green River - The Whiskey Without Regrets" with a glass bottle on a bench in the right hand corner. The print is marked in the bottom left hand corner reading "1919 By Oldetyme distillers Inc." and is marked in the right hand corner "Litho in U.S.A. Consolidated Lithographing Corporation. Brooklynn, NY". The print is set into a dark wood frame with a grey border around the print. The piece shows good condition overall with some light wear across the frame. The frame measures 32 1/4" wide by 26 1/4" tall with the art measuring 23 1/2" wide by 17 1/4" tall.
