Very Rare and original 1907 Anheuser-Busch (makers of Budweiser Beer) Chromolithograph Point of Sale Paper Advertising Sign featuring the “Budweiser Girl” in the original advertising frame. This fantastic Chromolithograph Sign measures approx. 23 ½” x 38 ½” (including the original, black surface oak frame) - the image size is actually 13 3/8” x 27 ¾. Depicted is the beautiful, young “Budweiser Girl” of 1907 wearing a flowing red gown and holding a bottle of Budweiser beer in her left hand and a pink rose in her right hand. Below the image is text that reads simply “Budweiser Girl” along with the “A & Eagle” Trade Mark at the lower right hand corner. The Sign is marked “copyright 1907 Anheuser Busch Brew Assn, St. Louis” and it is signed by the lithographer - Kaufmann & Strauss Co. of New York.
This beautiful Budweiser Beer Advertising Sign is framed in its original, painted oak frame with applied wheat and cattail decoration. Gesso text on the top stretcher reads simply \"Anheuser Busch\".
This outstanding, 1907, Anheuser-Busch Brewing Co. Chromolithographed Advertising Sign displays nicely but does have some condition issues. While the sheet has a contiguous wide green \"matt\" border, the example offered here has a separate, paper board matt which most likely was added to enhance the look of the Sign. There is a short, repaired tear at the upper left hand corner and scattered, tiny spots of foxing which are most noticeable of the Budweiser Girl\'s face and arms. There is also a light, \"zig-zag\" shaped surface scratch in the area of the Girl\'s red dress. Our best guess is that the original cover glass broke a very long time ago causing some of the surface issues and allowing the sheet to get the tiny spots of foxing. The Sign actually displays nicer than the scans below imply and with all faults it is still a fantastic display piece.
A very rare and wonderful, turn of the 20th century Chromolithograph Anheuser-Busch Advertising Sign and, with all faults, still a fantastic addition to any collection!!

Important Notes about Shipping Charges:
The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 \"packing fee\" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
