Beer In Ads #1729: The Falstaff Serenade

November 4, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Falstaff, from 1910. It’s a beautiful ad, showing a woman serenading the Falstaff star on a — is that a mandolin? — while sitting on a crescent moon. It was done by Valentine Sandberg, who was born in Sweden, but came to the U.S. as an infant and worked doing covers for a variety of popular magazine covers out of New York.
