1914 Pabst Blue Ribbon Extract Framed Calendar, Flapper Girl Collectible

Offered is the Pabst Extract 1914 American Girl yard long calendar that we acquired at an estate sale. Researching this piece was fun! Turns out Pabst handed these paper “calendars” out as premiums. This particular one is framed and you do not see the calendar side only the front picture.This is a chromolithographic print after famed early 20th century illustrator C. Allan Gilbert (1873-1929). This chromolithograph depicts an elegant young woman in formal early 20th century attire one side. She is wearing a vibrant orange and yellow dress and is posed in a naturalistic way with idealized features. She is holding up a black feather fan in one hand. This “calendar” is hung in a wooden frame, under glass, only one side is visible. Dimension/

size – the framed

size is 38 1/2” tall by 10.5 wide”. The frame covers some of the paper so I am uncertain what the paper measurement was originally but the exposed print is 34 3/4" by 7 1/8"Condition – this paper piece is over 100 years old. It is in good to very good condition with a few issues to report. While looking at the American Girl there is one spot above her necklace as pictured, another by her lower right lip, one other spot in the lower left corner as pictured. The glass on this piece is period correct with air bubbles, some streaking as you see in pieces framed at that time. The last three pictures I tried to show some of these traits in the glass.
