Scope and content
A metal printing plate for Jameson whiskey which says 'The quality of John Jamerson three star whiskey is the same the wide world over' in mirrored writing. Can also be dated 1900s.
Dublin is indefatigably proud of its reputation as a boozy town. Jameson whiskey was first made here in 1780, when a distillery opened on Bow Street. This plate was used for printing advertisements. It assures readers that “The quality of John Jameson Three Star whiskey is the same the wide world over.”
