Tuesday’s ad is for Grande Brasserie J. Laubenheimer & Fils, from 1908. 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 Grande Brasserie J. Laubenheimer & Fils, which was “The Brasserie Laubenheimer was founded in 1828 by the Alsacien brewer, Jean Laubenheimer, and produced beer for over one hundred years. By 1927, the family-owned brewery had grown into a large plant with electricity, automated bottling and renovated fermenting cellars and included a large brewery house and a malt house. The firm is also known as the Brasserie Malterie Laubenheimer. It stopped making beer in 1940, and finally closed its doors in 1955.” This poster was created by French artist Ferdinand Bac.
