W.K. Plummer watercolor, related to Old Crow and McKesson
About the Item
The scene is a hotel lobby, where two gentleman seem to be deliberating over a contract.
Based on the name plate, we infer that the work was the source for an Old Crow Distillery ad campaign. Why it was given with such ceremony to McKesson & Robbins (an earlier iteration of today's McKesson Corp, based on San Francisco), is a mystery.
Keywords: watercolor, bourbon, mustache, mustaches, ties, vests, Edwardian styling, hotel lobby, cigar.
OLD CROW DISTILLERY
Old Crow is named after Dr. James C. Crow, the Scottish chemist who is said to have invented the sour mash process now used by all bourbon distillers. Dr. Crow came to Kentucky in 1823 and began working for a distiller, bringing his scientific and medical training to the process. Dr. Crow moved to the town of Millville and for the next twenty years he was in charge of the Oscar Pepper Distillery. Later he went to work for the Johnson Distillery. That distillery eventually became Old Taylor. He worked there until his death in 1856. The Old Crow closed in 1987.
