Beer In Ads #795: Birra Di Borgofranco

February 1, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is for Birra di Borgofranco, a stylized ad for the Italian beer, possibly from 1911. I couldn’t find anything about the brewery itself. Still, what’s with the waitresses hat. That’s a pretty odd-looking chapeau, or should I say cappello. And the complexion on the man about to spill that beer on his tuxedo? Is he a zombie?

    Txs for sharing add with excellent modernistic (art nouveau) fonts! AFIK, now similar can be found with complete design on Birra Venezzia (It) and Lindemans (Be).

    Loox like she’s gettin’ the hell outta the way of the impending accident; that clutch purse hanging – does she have the hooker panties in it? 🙂
