Saturday’s ad is for Brasserie A. Cnop, from 1954. From the late 1800s until the 1980s, 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 last year and will continue to do so in 2020. This poster was created for the Brasserie A. Cnop, founded by Auguste Cnop in Anderlecht, which is a municipality in the Brussels-Capital Region of Belgium. No one seems to know when it was founded, although it was active in the 1930s and was still a going concern by the 1950s. I’m not sure who created this poster.
