VERY RARE Map of the Philippines, flags of the United States and ? and a view of Manila featuring San Sebastian Church, from a Fernet-Branca advertising brochure by Fratelli Branca, a distillery founded in Milano in 1860. The brochure, titled “Il Fernet-Branca’ dei Fratelli Branca di Milano attraverso il mondo intero; Rivista dei principali costumi dei popoli che fanno uso del Fernet-Branca…”, featured costumes of all countries where their produce was available, together with the flags, maps, and a typical town view on all 5 continents. The original recipe dates from 1845 and the still producing distillery celebrated its 175 year anniversary in 2020.
