Friday’s ad is for the Brauerei Tiefenbrunnen Zürich V, from around 1900 or 1910 (sources vary). 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 made for the Brauerei Tiefenbrunnen Zürich V, which was located in Zürich, which is the largest city in Switzerland and the capital of the canton of Zürich. It is located in north-central Switzerland at the northwestern tip of Lake Zürich. “The ‘Tiefenbrunnen Brewery’ opened in 1890 and was jointly taken over in 1911 by the ‘Uetliberg Brewery’ and the ‘Hürlimann Brewery.’ Their production facilities were closed three years later.” It is not known who exactly the artist was that created the beautiful painting of the brewery.
