Description
Pleased that a 16" x 20" framed print of this image sold from my exhibit at Boulder (Montana) Hot Springs Inn and Conference Center.
A general store in the historic Bannack state Park (Western Montana) displays antique bottles of old-time remedies. The artistic labels describe the vintage medicines. Bannack, a mining town, was the first capitol of Montana Territory.

" This sign pops up frequently on the internet, but although it is inspired by real products, Dr Batty is a myth – it’s one of those ‘vintage-inspired’ fun things like the ‘Sanitized Tapeworms’ ad .... As well as the modernity of the typefaces, the warning ‘Not recommended for children under 6’ is anachronistic – Cigares de Joy and their ilk specifically advertised their suitability for children as an illustration of their harmlessness.A 2010 discussion features someone saying they designed it. Deserving of attention in discussion of the sign’s provenance is the ‘Dr Batty’ portrait. It is borrowed from a real American patent medicine man, Earl Sawyer Sloan (1848-1923). Sloan’s Liniment – a topical application introduced in 1871 for horses and later marketed for humans too – carried its proprietor’s image on every bottle and packaging container. Sloan became a millionaire through sales of the liniment and related products – he would certainly not have put up with some upstart Dr. Batty claiming ownership of that fine moustache."

Great composition, clarity, and details. Reminds me of old-time professional "snake doctors" pushing their concoctions masquerading as genuine medicine. lol f/l
