Thursday’s ad is for Biere Supreme Gangloff, from 1920. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for Biere Supreme Gangloff, a beer from Brasserie Gangloff, in the eastern French city of Besançon that was bought by Mr. Gangloff before World War I. It was created by French commercial artist Marcellin Auzolle.

Wednesday’s ad is for Birra Venezia, from 1926. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for Birra Venezia, or beers of Venice, Italy. It was created by French commercial artist Achille Mauzan for his agency, Mauzan-Morzenti.
It appears they created a second one, too, that’s almost exactly the same except for what the man on top of the table pouring beers is wearing. The signature is slightly different, too, listing Mauzan’s agency rather than Mauzan himself.

Tuesday’s ad is for Birra Verona, from the early 1900s, I think. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for C. Dobrawsky Birra Verona, or beers of Verona, Italy. As far as I can tell, Carlo Dobrawsky owned a brewery in Verona which operated under that name from 1912-1923.

Monday’s ad is for Brasserie De Baccarat, from the early 1900s, I think. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for the Brasserie Rauch, located in the northeast region of France known as Baccarat, a French commune in the Meurthe-et-Moselle. The brewery was founded by the Rauch Brothers in 1867, but it closed in 1949.

Sunday’s ad is for La Meuse, from 1900, or before. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for the La Meuse, a river that runs through much of France. It was the industrial center of France at one time, and in the mid-1800s boasted over 40 breweries.
