A companion label to Bininger's Old Kentucky Bourbon — a frontiersman with rifle, warming himself by a campfire under moonlight, the frontier mythology already fully formed by 1859. Same defunct house, same dead mark — this pairs with the Old Kentucky label as a matched set from Bininger's New York operation. The nocturnal palette — most whiskey labels of the era sold daylight abundance; this one sells solitude. The fire went out. The scene stayed lit.

Before a size goes on sale, the file is measured against it: pixels per inch at that size, how much of the picture a crop would lose, tone and sharpness. A size that fails is not offered, so there is nothing to choose wrong.
