Description
A framed tin litho sign promoting Cork Distilleries Co. Ltd “WHISKY – PURE POT STILL”, illustrated with a bottle labelled “Old Irish Whisky” (noted “Guaranteed 7 Years Old”) and a branded wooden case with medal roundels and “1 doz.” marking.
Produced as point-of-sale advertising for Irish whiskey, the design leans on age statement, awards, and packaging to signal quality at the bar or merchant’s counter.
Bold shaded lettering and the carefully modelled still-life are typical of late 19th / early 20th-century commercial illustration, printed directly to metal for durability in smoky interiors. Date is believed to be c.1890–1910
