Antique Pattisons Whisky Advertising Mirror, A Big Boom
Antique advertising mirror for Pattisons Whisky featuring a historic battle scene with Scottish soldiers and the slogan Victorious All Along The Line accompanied by a dramatic cannon blast captioned a big boom. This reverse-painted glass mirror reflects the grand promotional flair of late 19th-century Scotch whisky marketing. The bold Pattisons script is rendered in red and white with shadowing effects, contrasting the darker etched imagery. The Patterson Whisky company based in Scotland lasted only 2 years 1896-1898. The founding brothers were convicted of fraud and embezzlement in 1901. Robert Pattison was jailed for 18mo, Walter Pattison for 9mo. An evocative piece of whisky advertising history from the rise and fall of Pattisons Ltd., once one of Scotland's largest whisky producers.
