Stanton, was a distiller before the 1736 'Act for Laying a Duty upon the Retailers of Spirituous Liquors and Licensing the Retailers thereof' drove him out of business. He started publishing his 'Distillers Universal Magazine' the same year. Published every Saturday, 10 numbers are known to have been issued, but interest was not great, prompting him to issue premium prints such as this as lures.
