Saturday’s ad is for Kris, from maybe the 1940s or 50s. From the late 1800s until the 1970s, 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 was created for Archipel Brouwerij Compagnie, a Dutch company that was founded in Batavia, which is more recognizable by its modern name, Jakarta, in Indonesia, and likewise for the name of the brewery, Archipelago Brewery Co. I’m not sure who the artist was who created this poster.
