Friday’s ad is for New Carlsberg Beers, or “Ny Carlsberg ølsorter,” from 1889, I guess. It’s hard to believe this is the 2000th beer ad I’ve posted, which means it’s been nearly five-and-a-half years since I started posting them, and that doesn’t even count the Guinness ads I posted separately for a time, plus all of the random unnumbered ones, too. This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful ads I’ve seen, showing a detailed view of Paris and the Eiffel Tower, presumably in 1889. There was a World’s Fair, or Exposition Universelle, in Paris that year, and the Eiffel Tower was built specifically for the expo. The poster also says “Grand Prix,” but at least according to Wikipedia, Heineken won the grand prize (and their source was a Heineken webpage that’s no longer up) so who knows. But the poster makes it seem like it was an amazing event.
