Tuesday’s ad is for Guinness, from 1933. While the best known Guinness ads were undoubtedly the ones created by John Gilroy, Guinness had other creative ads throughout the same period and afterward, too, which are often overlooked. This ad, one of many that used Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, and is page 16 of a booklet they produced about Alice and Guinness. This page is titled “A Head Without A Guinness,” and features Alice talking to the Cheshire Cat, comparing his ability to disappear to the froth on a glass of Guinness.
