Description
Entitled "Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Christmas tree over the door of a bar on Market Street". Guckenheimer's Rye was one of America's most famous whiskeys and in 1893 won top honors at the World's Colombian Exposition in Chicago, scoring 99 points out of 100 in the whiskey judging. The company continued to be successful until shut down by Prohibition in 1919. A Christmas tree is a decorated tree, usually an evergreen conifer such as spruce, pine, or fir associated with the celebration of Christmas. The tree was traditionally decorated with edibles such as apples, nuts, or other foods. In the 18th century, it began to be illuminated by candles which were ultimately replaced by Christmas lights after the advent of electrification. Photographed by Paul Vanderbilt, December, 1938
