I saved this from an estate, that was being trashed. I do not collect cigars, but I loved the art. The colors are vivid and clear. The print itself is untouched, but the edges have some minor wear.
The copyright is 1889.
The BRETT LITHO CO. 116 FULTON ST NY.
This is all I really know about it. The pics do not do it justice. I beleive (but could be wrong) that this may be kind of rare, so I just wanted to share it. I have not had it reframed yet, still in frame I found it in. So any scratches you see are from the glass.
I would love more info on the company, so I can share the knowledge!
Thanks for looking!
Well that great info. coincides with the 1899, the New York address and the company name. That gives me hope that is not a repro. But it does say copyright 1899, so i'm not sure. Once again, thanks Phil, your a superstar!
The boy looks like he's about 12 years old. Lol
Yeah I noticed that and I noticed I do not see a cigar, maybe that's why!")
