More about this image...
Description:An advertising lithograph from 1883 for Ballantine & Company's Brewery, Newark, New Jersey. The print promotes the brewery's Bock Beer and features a group of eight dancing goats, while a ninth goat sits atop a large wooden beer barrel playing a fiddle. Appearing on the beer barrel is the Ballantine logo of three rings, along with the date 1883.
Note:A short history of the Ballantine Brewery from Wikipedia: "The company was founded in 1840 in Newark, New Jersey, by Peter Ballantine (1791-1883), who emigrated from Scotland. The company was originally incorporated as the Patterson & Ballantine Brewing Company. Ballantine rented an old brewing site which had dated back to 1805. Around 1850, Ballantine bought out his partner and purchased land near the Passaic River to brew his ale. His three sons joined the business and in 1857 the company was renamed P. Ballantine and Sons. The name would be used for the next 115 years, until the company closed its brewery in May 1972."
