A hop wreath frames the center of this 1896 lithograph, with small vignettes of brewers and craftsmen set around its border. Lithographs of this kind were a common way for breweries to advertise in the late 1800s, when color printing had become cheap enough for mass circulation on labels, posters and trade cards. The imagery of hops and skilled workers signaled quality and tradition to customers, many of whom were buying beer in saloons and grocery stores in a period of rapid growth for the American brewing industry. Viewers today often notice how the artists used the wreath to tie separate scenes into a single emblem.
