Notes:
Agricola Favier was born 1802 in France³, and died Oct 23rd 1854 in Washington DC. Favier started a Restaurant in 1830, and a Spring Garden in 1839. He started bottling Mineral Water in June of 1840 - he was possibly the first in Washington DC to do so. Faviers Spring Garden on M Street between 17th and 18th Streets had actual springs that supplied water for his bottled mineral water. Favier was known to cater parties for Congressmen at his restaurant and Spring Garden. Favier's first name shows up in various sources as "Agricola, Agricole, and Agricol". ²
City directories sometimes list Favier as a Restaurant owner, and other times as a Confectioner.
The 1843 city directory includes an ad for Faviers mineral water that says it has been recommended by many of the most eminent physicians in the district ¹ (I beleive that in 1843 it was still popular belief that carbonated drinks had curative qualities).

Bottles:

	book # 237 This is a 9" greeen torpedo bottle. The glass has an opalescent patina that looks redish when it is front-lit, but with back-lighting you can see that the glass is clearly green. This bottle was likely made at the Baltimore Glasshouse. It is embossed: front: A. FAVIER back: W. C. D. C. The "W.C.D.C." stands for Washington City District of Columbia.
	This is the back side of the bottle above.
	This is the same bottle, but with back-lighting to show the true color of the glass.
	book # 238 This is a 7.5" blue, 8-sided blob-top bottle with an iron pontil scar on the bottom. It is embossed: vertically on panel-1: A. FAVIER vertically on panel-2: MINERAL WATER vertically on panel-3: RECOMMENDED BY / M.D. FACULTY vertically on panel-4: W.C.D.C. base: (iron pontil scar) The "W.C.D.C." stands for Washington City District of Columbia.
	book # (unlisted) This is a 6.75" squat bottle with an iron pontil scar on the bottom. The color appears to be either olive green or yellow, depending on the lighting. Some of the glass on the back & base have been replaced/repaired. It is embossed: front: A. FAVIER'S / MINERAL / WATERS / W.D.C. The "W.D.C." presumably stands for Washington District of Columbia.

This is from the 1846 directory. It says his flavors included "Rasberry, Lemon, Strawberry, &c.".
