An early Arabic advertisement for whisky
April 7th, 2008
al-Muqtataf was one of the various early Arabic scientific and literary magazines that appeared from 1876 onwards. A hefty study in German has appeared on it in 2004, and in it I found an early Arabic advertistement (1906) for Canadian Club Whisky. The text bottom left says: “Available in Egypt and every other Eastern country”; the other Arabic texts are translations of the English text within the logo.
