An original 1902 advertising calendar for Buffalo Brewing Co., Sacramento, California, featuring the New Brew image. The portrait is identified within the image as “From Photo. Copyright by Schall, 1900,” and is surrounded by an elaborate gilt Art Nouveau border incorporating the twelve months of 1902 printed directly into the lithograph. Issued as a New Year’s greeting for 1902, the calendar represents one of Buffalo Brewing’s earliest and most ambitious advertising pieces, combining decorative commercial art with a year-long promotional display.
