Friday’s ad is for Guinness, from fairly recently. 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. I’ve been posting vintage European posters all year, and for the remainder of December will feature holiday-themed posters of all ages. This poster was created by an unknown marketing firm, but appears to be inspired by the John Gilroy artwork of the earlier 20th century.
