Description
Antique Early 1900s Beverage Advertising Color Print — Woman With Bottle & Crackers — F.W. No. 210
Beautiful large-format antique advertising image depicting an elegantly dressed young woman in a wide pink hat holding a stemmed glass of amber-colored beverage while eating crackers. A clear glass bottle and additional crackers appear on the table.
Printed at the lower left:
“COPYRIGHTED BY F.W. No. 210”
Based on the fashion, illustration style, printing and subject matter, this appears to date to approximately the early 1900s–1910s, making it a desirable pre-Prohibition-era advertising display piece.
The exact identity of “F.W.” has not been conclusively established, so this listing does not attribute the print to a specific brewery, publisher or artist.
The amber-colored beverage and bottle give the piece excellent crossover appeal for collectors of early beverage advertising, breweriana and pre-Prohibition-era commercial art; however, the bottle itself does not display a readable brand, so the beverage is not being definitively identified as beer.
The print appears to have been produced as a standalone advertising/display image rather than a magazine page, with an essentially blank reverse.
Approximately 17\" x 22–23\" overall based on the measurements shown in the photographs. Please rely on the ruler photographs for exact dimensions.
Excellent subject matter with outstanding period color and strong visual appeal.
Perfect for collectors of:
Antique advertising
Pre-Prohibition-era memorabilia
Beverage advertising
Breweriana
Early 20th-century commercial art
Soda fountain advertising
Americana
Vintage calendar/display art
Gibson Girl / Edwardian-era imagery
Important: This is being sold as an antique printed advertising/display piece. It is not represented as an original painting, hand-colored artwork, or hand-signed work.
