Condition: Fair. The antique print exhibits a prominent paper tear extending in from the lower left margin, intersecting hairline surface creases, and localized edge staining. It measures exactly 30.5 inches wide by 22.5 inches high including the heavy perimeter frame. Prominent markings along the bottom margin include copyright text reading "Copyrighted, The Originals in Possession of Mr. A. Bauer, Chicago, Ill." above fine print identifying the lithographer as "The F. Tuchfarber Co. Mfgrs. Cin. O. 11-97". This item consists of the single-sheet chromolithograph securely mounted inside its original period dark oak wood display frame. It serves as a fascinating, highly collectible piece of late 19th-century Western barroom memorabilia distributed by a prominent Illinois liquor distributor to market their proprietary rectified whiskey lines.
