{"product_id":"manhattan-cocktail-napkin-1930s","title":"Manhattan Cocktail Napkin 1930s","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1930s image, taken from a cocktail napkin, is a perfect example of the creative mastery of vintage menu and restaurant accessory artists. The illustration shows Manhattan and its skyscrapers in a glass. Perfect for a city like New York that loves its booze.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCocktail napkins, matchbooks, menus and table-toppers were all used as marketing tools for restaurants and bars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis image may have a double meaning – it probably also represents the Manhattan cocktail made with whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters, strained over ice and served in a chilled glass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe origin of the drink, named after the area in which it was served, goes back to the 1860s. Some historians believe it was invented by a bartender who worked in a bar on Broadway, near Houston Street. Another theory is that the drink originated at the Manhattan Club a decade later, created in honor of the Governor of New York and Presidential candidate Samuel J Tilden. The drink is mentioned in the bar book The Flowing Bowl, published in 1891.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Manhattan-in-a-glass image came with no identifying marks of any restaurant or bar and we are still hoping to unearth more information about it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCourtesy Private Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGallery quality Giclée print on natural white, matte, 100% cotton rag, acid and lignin free archival paper using Epson K3 archival inks.
