An embossed lithographed advertising sign for Cook’s Water, a premium natural mineral water marketed in Sacramento during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. From its bottling and distribution works at 625 Third Street in Sacramento, the company supplied hotels, restaurants, druggists, and saloons throughout Northern California, promoting the purity and health benefits of its spring water. Preserved in an outstanding original state, this embossed lithograph is an exceptional surviving example of early Sacramento advertising.

Dimensions: Sight: 23.25 x 11.25 in. Framed: 25.5 x 13.25 in.

Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $85 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Not examined out of frame. Preserved in an outstanding original state, the embossed lithograph retains exceptionally strong color, crisp embossing, and excellent overall visual appeal. It appears untrimmed and retains its original hanging hole at the upper center, consistent with its intended display. No significant tears, staining, or evidence of restoration are apparent. Minor age-related handling wear and a few light surface abrasions are visible only upon close inspection. Housed in a later gilt frame.
