Thursday’s ad is for Entspannung und Schlaf, or “Beer prepares Relaxation and Sleep,” from 1954. From the late 1800s until the 1960s, poster art really came into its own, and in a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This is part of a series of posters promoting beer by the German Brewers Association in the mid-20th century. It was created by German artist Thomas Abeking.
